Heh, everytime I see "Lazarus Long" I cannot help thinking of the Robert
Heinlein character. I'm sure he wouldn't approve of any censorware;
it would catch all of his books ;)
I wonder if it's really this guy's name.
Nonetheless, last time I checked, Debian does not discriminate based on
our users' intelligence. If users want this software, then it is our duty
to cater to this. And if a developer wants to write the software, and
support it, then why stop him or her? We're volunteers after all.
