You are right. I have no additional response to this that would not make me sound like an asshole.

    What an odd thing to say. I do think that california based projects/products will try to follow (at least show an attempt) as you say but as big a market cali is there just is no reason for a OS (more so a donation funded linux one) to pander to one state.
