Not just that, it's also beneficial to the organization because that can just.. implement it themselves, and then do a pull request, instead of being reliant upon a corporation to care about your desires. Literally a win-win. I hope state actors come to realize that sooner rather than later, it only makes sense

SUSE, Manjaro, Alpine Linux, CRUX, and NixOS are all technically European (as are many others).
