Anthony, i dont think anyone is intending to make a person attack on you,
or question the valuable contribution youve made.
I think their are extreme arguments being used by each side of this
argument, but there is some middle ground.
It is a volunteer effort and no _one_person_ can demand _someone_else_ do
a particular task, everyone contributes what they can.
But at the same time their are basic principles that the debian community
does demands of all members i.e. honoring the constitution, abiding by the
social contract etc
So being a debian developer does mean one is agreeing to a set of demands,
but those demands are dictated by the majority, not any individual.
