I was under the imprtession that that was a requirement of the
new maintainer process? The DFSG is critical to the core of debian,
it is what makes Debian what it is. And even though diversity of
opinion is indeed laudable, there has to be a basis for understanding
and cooperation, without which an effort like Debian would
crumble. If we all can't even agree about something as critical as
the social contract and the DFSG, then indeed we have a problem.
