As I have discussed elsewhere this morning, these criteria are rather
bad. One problem is that there are several vague criteria. But more
importantly, there are several criteria that are completely unrelated
to the issue at hand. Some of these are important issues themselves,
like accessibility. Some are just stupid, like not allowing the site
to recommend SaaSS, when the sites themselves are in fact SaaSS.

Some are trying to push unrelated FSF politics -- like "you need to
say GNU/Linux when we think you might be talking about a GNU+Linux
system, not just Linux". To make that one even worse, it's actually
considered *more important* than *accessibility for the handicapped*
and *anonymity*.

If GNU are able to fix these criteria, I think they would be useful
for us. Right now I don't think they are though.
