It's nice to have a choice.

So it's nice to be able to choose free software, it's also nice to be able 
to choose which free software, and its nice to know that there are 
(possibly competing) alternatives. For many, many years we've had a choice 
of which init system to use (e.g. I have used file-rc in the past which 
works well in embedded type systems)

I'm just excercising freedom of choice.
