As I said before, I fully share the worries of Leo about Google's totalitarism 
[1]; which is very bad for a free world. In my opinion, as an open source 
project we should not subsume the global vision of the society we want to 
local marketing needs. 

Have a nice day,

[1]     This is not some post Godwin-point assertion: Through its numerous 
services (web, mail, social network, collaborative editing, statistic 
tracking, advertising, ...), Google aims at penetrating every web market 
niche. This mass of data gives it a previously unseen knowledge and control 
over people and companies. The actual situation is more or less 1984 in an 
urchin shell ;-(
