Well... If you really disagree with the 'bigots' on this, please join
debian-legal and join the opposition. I do think that most of us
non-'bigots' will agree with the consensus reached in debian-devel - Me
not joining that list means I don't have all the background (and, yes,
the interest) to debate their decision - and they are mostly people who
most of us hold in quite a nice position.
Now, why am I insisting in quoting the 'bigots'? Because they care.
Because being involved in all those convoluted discussions in our
behalf, in subjects we all care about but don't want to fuss over too
much makes them respectable people in my eyes.
