Debian isn't out to rid the world of social unfairness; instead, Debian
is out to provide a Free Operating system. If social conflicts get in
the way of that goal, it's not unreasonable to remove the person who
seems to be involved in many of those conflicts -- whether or not that
person is the cause of those conflicts.
If you're out to improve the world and get it rid of all social
unfairnesses, I suggest you find yourself another project.

In this case, I think the most practical solution is what's being done,
even if I agree that it's not totally fair to Sven.
