[bf1942] Here it is - Act Now - 476 sig's so far. Outstanding work, but we have got to get it HIGHER!

Problem is EA is a high turnover house (in my view, at least) when it comes
to a game's life span.  Putting months and months of dev time into a Linux
port when they probably expect a replacement in a year or two just isn't
part of the way they stay afloat.  I'm not agreeing with it, but everyone's
got to be real about this whole thing.  At 476 signatures, I'd estimate
you're only about 1/10 (at best) of the way to where you'd need to be to
even get a memo put across to EA's janitor.
