While I find your tone far too confrontational, I'll do you the
courtesy of answering politely.
Ultimately, what the Debian project does, as a whole, is hte sum
of what the individual members believe. And if we all do not have the
same interpretation abd beliefs, the stance of the Debian project is,
well, a composite, of sorts, of individual beliefs.

I think we should indeed fix them. And we should not really
release a stable version with known DFSG violations in it.

Which, I suppose, goes for you too.

While unnecessarily confrontational, and, in a sense, attacking
the man, not the idea, (which is a logical fallacy in any argument) I
guess this goes for you as well. Indeed, more so, since impolite emails
are likely to cause even more time spent other than fixing bugs.
Can we please stop these "in your face" emails, and return to
civil discourse, or, failing that, not post at all?
