In a boot-strapping process, there is a logical sequence of events.
The final events come into existence only after the initial ones are
complete. Here the initial part is schooling, which is fast maturing
through Free Software initiatives. The dimension of this process may
have reached a stage where it cannot be reversed or diluted anymore.
It could well be a matter of time that rogue thinking is finally shown
the exit door. Since this process is already in motion, it qualifies
to be called a "Movement".
