	If you are talking about FSF, that is an organization to promote
FreeSoftware. And you're right.
>  We are people who fight against the bad things in the software world.
	Our weapons are the various peices of FreeSoftware like Bash2,gcc,emacs
which will show the world that being free is better. Look at Apple, they 
realized how valuable FS is and tried to make bash2 the cmd-line for OS-X.
(and when I say tried, I mean tried).

	But the GNU project has been started to *REPLACE* a proprietary 
platform (viz Unix and its variants). The GNU project *IS* about writing
software to replace unix utilities and provide evn better ones. So IMHO
the right way to GNU is to show people the free-alternatives they have.
But kindly remember to concentrate more on the freedom rather than the 
reliability/stability of FreeSoftware.

	You're in the wrong place for these questions. This is mostly
a FreeSoftware politics arena. We really aren't that much into tech.
(especially embedded). You're much better off searching on google than
hoping for a reply here.(really sorry I couldn't help)
