I think your conclusions are not justified by past
experience. The DFSG did not generate bad publicity for Debian fast;
and both these efforts are an expression of what we, as a project,

And while I do agree that PR is important; I would not let PR
dictate the policy rhtather than technical merit; and what we feel is
right.
