That is exactly what I've found when discussing GGI. Those who
oppose it the most do so because they envision a huge graphics
library complete with 2D, 3D code, accelleration, etc... to be
included in the kernel. With GGI this is 100% false however.
It's too bad that in general, people open their mouth's and speak
before getting their facts straight and researching their
information.

That is a very open mind who speaks these words. ;o)
Hard to argue with an attitude like that. Although I'm sure that
someone will. ;o)
