I disagree with you. All that people need to know outside Debian, is
that you conceed with the Debian guidelines on freedom, nothing more. I
have strong feeling about preserving privacy as far as possible, but
this is OT here.
But after rereading Marc's and Michael's post, I noticed, that they were
not advocating putting your _specific_ views on such a page (Michael
merely mentioned a small paragraph on your motivation).
So my concerns are in fact irrelevant, as long as this page is not
extended.
Best regards
Ben
