Not important enough. Computing freedom is more important. Computers should be free. We should be free. If the cost of that freedom is having to defend against malicious actors, so be it. I pay it gladly.
It's important enough to the people who actually have the power to change it. This wasn't my opinon, this is why it'll never happen with current driving forces. Stallman won't be kicking for that much longer, probably not long enough to argue this sort of angle.
