the problem with using obscure quotes is that they are, well, obscure.
It shows your erudition, but does not really make your point, which
is??????

Dear John,

did you take a moment to think about how the quote aptly describes the Linux softare philosophy and its application. If you had, it would be very clear to you that blessings of freedom in linux is the diversity in software and ideas, while the fatigue of supporting it would be the endless task of integrating the various softwares and ideas, keeping up with new versions/updates without ever breaking the system.

That would probably the most direct meaning that you should have been able to deduct from the quote as it applies to the linux world. Of course, it runs much deeper than that. But, I can't expect you to any deeper because for you the quote is just obscure and erudite.

I will not make an assumption that you are either pretentious or unintelligent. Hopefully, you were just too lazy to give it a thought. Now you know the quote is neither obscure nor erudite, but only fitting. I hope you agree.
