Ouch!n If it needs explicitly listing, why can we not use "anyone"? Starting 
to use the word gender in this way is both linguistically clumsy and 
uneuphonious and so PC that it becomes a strongly political act.  When I was 
young, women burned their bras.  This struck me as pointless and rather 
absurd.

I agree we need to be inclusive, but lets keep politics out of Debian.
