- Let me add another positive response. A FSF library could stimulate
- the popularity of Objective-C, and get more folks involved in adding
- features and libraries that folks need and would be easier to support
- in Objective-C than C++. For example, garbage collection and persistence.

- Will the FSF version provide something analogous to Stepstone's
- foundation class library or any of Next's library or will these
- be add-ons?
