I'm not too familiar with the ITS, but hearing the monumental work done during the 1960s and 70s surrounding operating systems is something I can't fathom.

He really stands for so much in the philosophy surrounding FOSS... Ironically, if it weren't for the Ted Talk on YouTube that I watched from him a year ago, I wouldn't have known about his existence.

Hope he recovers, it's different to see him without his signature long hair and beard :(

He doesn't do himself any favors. He truly ruined his legacy with his options. His software vision was always an uphill battle and he fell short of being a good leader. His strong stances have their place but it's easy to dismiss them because he's a crackpot.
