The main objections to some of the upstreams' behaviours are,
basically, "they don't care what anyone else thinks, and are trying to
impose their will by various means".  If that's the case, further
imprecations aren't likely to make any difference.

So the main political questions for Debian are (a) is this the case ?
(b) does it matter ?  (c) what are we going to do about it ?
