    Our Priorities are Our Users and Free Software

    We will be guided by the needs of our users and the free-software
    community. We will place their interests first in our priorities. 

How can you say you will place interest of people not having any say
in how Debian acts first in your priorities?

Please, amend the Debian social contract, if it does not reflect
reality.

Is there no difference between altering the content of Debian and
expressing a point of view about how Debian works?

This means in plain text: we are not interested in non-developers view
here. Please, amend the Debian social contract, if it does not reflect
reality.
