It is? I guess I missed something. I've heard these more often:

Free software is all about choice
Free software is all about transparency and security
Free software is all about sharing
Free software is all about rms

but "the unexpected"? Uhm, I don't think so >.>


edit:
Actually, after some more thinking, I really have to go on a small rant about this.
"Free software is all about the unexpected". Excuse the language but he just pulled this sentence out of his a s s. It does not have any meaning whatsoever. "Oh, look I'm writing about the mysterious unexpected, oh I like hearing my own voice so muuch". Seriously. If anything, you can just skim over any piece of source code, follow some mailing list, and know about every tidbit of info about the future. Just about nothing is unexpected within free software. There's simply more opportunity for people to do things. The whole process itself is very, very overviewable and transparent. I mean, is closed software less "unexpected"?? Seriously, who writes this stuff... >.>
