If you remember the GR about RMS [1], the outcome was "Debian will not 
issue a public statement on this issue". Even if you find seconds to 
propose this GR (which hopefully wont happen), it's very likely that a 
majority of DDs will not want to make such a statement and vote against 
your above text.
