I don't agree with all of Debian's policies, nor should I have to. But you should agree with our social contract, right? That is, after all, what the point of a social contract /is/, isn't it? That we'll all abide by it? "Agreeing" with the DFSG in a fairly important part of that -- our major aim is to produce a free system, and if we can't even agree on what that means then we're not going to get *anywhere*. I'm not /entirely/ sure what you're referring to here, though. I haven't seen anyone telling anyone that they shouldn't be a part of Debian because they don't think the DFSG is perfect, but I don't read every piece of mail on every list.
