There's a bit of GNU arrogance in here as well though, isn't there? I mean, those of us who have been using PDF since 1.0 and free tools like Xpdf, Ghostscript and other stuff in the TeX arena have been benefiting from a huge amount of fantastic work from very smart people, and suddenly GNU comes along with a PR campaign (because this is what this is) to try to get some momentum behind their completely new implementation. Fully half of the functionality they talk about reinventing already exists in mature free software, but they want to do everything again from scratch. How is this a good use of GNU funds?
