Good hopefully he can separate GNU from the FSF and get it under responsible stewardship.

I'm not sure I understand what you're trying to say.

Do you feel the FSF is irresponsible? If not, what are you trying to say?

Can you share any specifics? What evidence do you have to back up your claims?

FSF fell for the hit piece.

So RMS resigned from the FSF and his role(s) at MIT, but he's still on with GNU?

The "hit piece" was written by Stallman himself.

Well, good. An FSF without Stallman doesn't seem very relevant anymore, but GNU is still very important.

Glad to see this. I don't want GNU to be rebranded into a mediocre open source project from radical free software symbols, and only someone who bites his fingers after scratching toes like Tux has the least possibility to appease corporations with those sugar-coated pills named "open source".

Yes. They got rid of RMS based on slander and libel.

They are no long relevant to Free Software.
