I don't see much value in quibbling over the actual words in the
original Social Contract. I think the actual meaning we intend for the
current SC is far more important.

Historically, Debian has had numerous ideals. Not a single Debian
release has demonstrated achievement of all those ideals. Now, you can
infer from this that we didn't really have those ideals, and achieved
our real ideals, or you can infer that we compromised our ideals out of
pragmatism or ignorance. Or you can infer something else entirely.
