I have read all of your postings and all of the other participants
postings and I must agree with Craig. You say you don't want to "dilute"
the DFSG, but all I hear are complaints about it's tone and intent. Well,
myself and others worked hard to get just the right tone and most
reasonable folks get the intent correctly.

While others want to make it less strict.

It is also your responsability to understand the group you work with and
their goals. We have no responsability to bend to your desires, even if
they are correct, which most don't seem to feel is true.

What do you mean by "and not those which simply surface due to your debian
fears"?

I found this posting by Christoph to be full of misjudged intent and
faulty interpretation. His implications of the intentions of varous
parties bears no resemblence to the folks I know and the way they think.
This is not the first time that Christoph has taken this "berzerker" path
and probably will not be the last. I just don't happen to agree with him,
or you on the issues as you have stated them.
Waiting is,
