Is that "reactionaries" in the "we object to certain technology decisions" sense, like the anti-systemd crowd, or in the "software compatible with our political views" like the xlibre project?
A quick search (in which I found no evidence of heated controversy) suggests to me that it's the first one.
" anti-systemd crowd "?
I suppose you're from the " hop onto the bandwagon no questions asked crowd " then.
As far as I know right now, the first, but there's significant overlap. The suckless folks, for instance, have documented fash tendencies. The fact that SonicDE's stated mission is to preserve X11 support is itself a warning sign.
