I similarly found the implied question from Branden appropriate, and hereby second the encouragement for the candidates to express their opinions on the proposed changes. Of course, silence is also a way to express opinion, but I would find that a troublesome approach for a candidate for Debian Leader to not even bother to state an opinion on a matter explicitly put forward in the context of sheding light on the political views of the candidates. If, as the non-candidate reactions seem ti indicate, this is a horrible can of worms that I just happen to be ignorant about, then state that - no need to open the can if you judge that to be too painful (for you or for me or whatever). - Jonas -- * Jonas Smedegaard - idealist & Internet-arkitekt * Tlf.: +45 40843136 Website: http://dr.jones.dk/ * Sponsorship: https://ko-fi.com/drjones [x] quote me freely [ ] ask before reusing [ ] keep private
