Or maybe you are hard-core and nothing's changed?
- GFDL docs still in non-free? Check.
- firmware still considered as program, not data? Check.
- Definition of 'software' stretched to mean 'any set of bits' rather
than 'program'? Check.
- 'Editorial changes' still in place in social contract? Check.

Probably. I was valuable before. I have no enthusiasm for working with
a bunch of people whose attitudes are so disjoint from mine. I derive
much more pleasure from working on non-Debian projects (many of which
are upstream for Debian, so in a way I still contribute, but not in a
way which brings me into contact with the idiots who control Debian).
