Something good happens and the Slashdot crowd reply with, "It could have been better!"
But joking aside, it could have been better.
You see, I come from the small Island of Malta. The LUG here is tiny and few people are even aware of Software Patents. Were MS to push for patents here (and it would have a lot of backing from the government, since it's been giving us discounts on MS Products and stuff), there wouldn't be enough protestors to be heard.
I imagine this might be similar for other small countries new to the EU.
