Immorral opinnions can be honestly held. And the prcess of
submission is orthogonal to morality.

More doublespek, methinks, to wiggle out of a promise

substantially changing that, which this GR does, not only goes
against that word, it changes what Debian is. I would hesitate to fix
what obviously ain't broke.
