In Memorium - How are they remembered?

I'll have to go quote diving again to try to find the reference.

The "Origin of Bolthole" Pearl says straight out that while the "Bolthole System" was conquered by the Legislaturalists, the shipyard and R&D complex were creations of the Committee.

Pat's statements on the subject were published later, and so could be evidence of A Better Idea. OTOH, they could simply be evidence that even Pat Givens doesn't have clearance for the Infodump

I imagine they will be remembered with more or less the same shading as their Revolution Era French counterparts. Political idealists who performed terrible deeds to overthrow a regime that was in many ways more corrupt and despotic than their own, yet the methods they used being so horrific that there is no way to see them as anything but villains. Villains that can be sympathized with, but villains none the less.

Yup. I've been to Napoleon's tomb, there isn't one for Robespierre.
