For reasons I've never seen adequately explained, some people feel the
need to periodically chastise Francesco for giving opinions and
analyses without explicating every single time that “I Am Not A
Lawyer”, “This Is Not Legal Advice”, “I Am Not A Debian Developer”,
“This Is Not A Statement Of The Official Debian Position”.
He apparently finds it best to include these disclaimers to forestall
such ire. Which is a perfectly valid position for him to take, given
the persistence of said ire, and its peculiar tendency to be directed
at him in particular.
Myself, I think it's ludicrous for others to expect one's every
opinion to be couched in such stuff, and I just say what I have to
say, with whatever justification I have for it, and people can judge
that on its merits. There are too many disclaimers and warning labels
in our lives as it is.
