IMO this language is completely inappropriate in any formal Debian
context.
Furthermore, the targets of this insult don't deserve it, because
there are real scenarios where "fail closed, for unknown things" is
the right policy. It's a matter of tradeoffs.
It is of course fine to say that the "fail closed, for unknown things"
is the wrong default policy for a mandatory access control system to
be enabled by default in Debian. (I would agree.)

Seriously, you're repating this offensive language ?

(I have to disclose an interest: I have a PhD in computer security, so
maybe I am one of these "weenies"?)
