If they see that in the future they would like to work together, insisting that they do today will not accelerate the process. If they work for libre software or libre hardware (Richard Stallman prefers the name free standard hardware) and not in a team, it is a pity. But if their part is libre, then it is a contribution and I feel the need to cheer those efforts.

People must work how they like. Agreed.

People must understand that depending what they choose to work, although 
the product (distro) is free software, it can do colateral damage (in 
many ways) to the community.

Being happy just because is being producing more free software is 
questionable.

But anyway. The bottom line is, IMHO: FSFLA does not need to 
bless/endorse individual distributions that in reality are used by 
dozens of people, nor fighting them. Instead of segregate, FSFLA can 
works towards a joint-effort with existing Free Software groups 
(including Debian).

Thanks,
