RMS, if you go through with this, I will begin soliciting the inverse
question from members of the GNU Project.
If you then proceed to say "some Debian developers disagree, so Debian
cannot really hold position X" (as if Debian operated only by
unanimous consent), then I will begin a public campaign to make sure
that the world knows that your positions are not necessarily those of
every participant in the GNU Project.
But I would find this state of affairs to be divisive and destructive.
So how about you don't try to tell Debian what we think, and you
decide not to engage in an attempt to subvert Debian's procedures, and
I will leave you to pretend to be the sole spokesman for the GNU
Project, and we can then proceed to try and settle our differences
nicely.
