RMS doesn't agree with focusing on Free Hardware (or whatever you call
it). You could try doing it separately and get fsf buy in after the
fact. Or try to convince other fsf officials or the general membership.

However I don't see the end result being a flood of great Free
Hardware. The Respect Your Freedom campaign hasn't suddenly transformed
the few participating laptop/workstation/server vendors to industry
juggernauts. Any Free Hardware site is going to have even less end-user
products.

I'm not saying the end goal is bad. I would like to see more Free
Hardware but FSF isn't going to do development of Free Hardware. Their
endorsement isn't that important at this point.
