Libre software is about freedom to control your computing, not freedom to choose a proprietary OS. The FSF supports compiling for Windows because it helps users to transition to libre software.

Attacking users for making a bad decision (Windows) is unproductive and hurtful, but not directly at odds with libre software principles as you suggest.

It's​ funny, GNU is about freedom of choice, yet just about every message I read has people trampling over others choice of operating system.

It's appalling to read almost every day these arguments. Yes, sometimes it's hard to support different platforms. I'm a software engineer myself, so I know the complexities of supporting different systems, if the maintainer doesn't want to support said platform I'm not going to argue, but if others are going to bash people for their choices, it's basically like reading poison. Just stop with it, it gets us no where and it goes against the very principal of GNU.

I'm at the point where I just want to unsubscribe to the mailing list, it's that bad.

What you "sense" is a conspiracy theory, and it's ridiculous. IceCat is
not important in the grand scheme of things for anyone who isn't a libre
software supporter, so there is no cause for a conspiracy. Further,
there is no evidence for a conspiracy. What you are seeing is nothing
more than user dissatisfaction. It's not just here, either; similar
dissatisfaction has been expressed on the Trisquel forum.

Personally, I think it would be great if both of these projects could be
handed off to someone else. After all, Ruben is clearly overworked.
However, this is an imperfect world and there don't seem to be any takers.

Also, even the FSF supports building software for Windows.

Anyway, please stop flooding my inbox with screeching about your
conspiracy theories. That is not what I am subscribed to this mailing
list for.
