I don't think we want to be inclusive to make a better OS. Like we don't work on free software just because it lead to better software quality. We know that is not necessarily true, and we know that we do free software because we believe it it. Similarly, I think the Diversity Statement reflects what another facet of what we believe in: that "The Debian Project welcomes and encourages participation by everyone" not for any particular practical gain, but because we want to embrace our colleagues from any and all different backgrounds, because they are people just like us. -- -- Martina Ferrari (Tina, the artist formerly known as Tincho)
