What critical information was deleteed in the redaction? The
whole frigging text of the GR was sent out on every ballot. It was
sent to the list all developers are supposed to read not once, but
thrice. The RFD even contained a link to an annotated doff between
the old and the new versions.
How much time does it take to take the ballot and diff it
against the web site, even if you do not have doc-debian installed?
The GR has existed for four month now, and there was
discussion about these changes at the time of the non-free GR.
People who ignore the voting web page, the RFD mail, and the three
CFV's which have the full text of the GR are nothing if not
apathetic.

I am not interested in people who do not care about the social
contract, really.
