The main idea is not to antagonize people because they have different views. A gap in opinions is not something to be concerned about. It occurs regularly and is part of what makes Debian a technically excellent project. A gap in the community is womething that adds friction, confrontation, and is in my opinion not good for the project. How we say things always matter. -- Pierre-Elliott Bécue GPG: 9AE0 4D98 6400 E3B6 7528 F493 0D44 2664 1949 74E2 It's far easier to fight for one's principles than to live up to them.
