That's because you only take into account controversial GR. Not all GR
need to be controversial. Sometimes I'm tempted to use GRs to try have some
official position statements from Debian on some topics.
And at least, they give us some real figures of Debian instead of
unverifiable statements quoting the 'the silent majority' (which probably
exists in most cases, but whose opinion is difficult to know).
