Would it be possible to not constantly air our personal political
opinions and grievances on Debian lists? Especially as part of
something that goes to an -announce list.
If anything, this is harmful to Debian as a project.
What would have been so difficult about something like "for those in the
Debian community who for whatever reason cannot attend DebConf 2020 in
Israel, there will be a mini-DebConf in Montreal" and so-on and so
forth?
