You said: >> > 2.

However, you don't seem to have any evidence of that. Why do you believe that this is a question that needs answering? Should DPL candidates be asked if they think it's fair for developers to beat their wives? [1] Rather than, say, the effect that their socio-religious views have on their ability to work within the project. If I believe that it's my religious duty to respond to every email I receive with the word "cock"[2], it's clear that the project should discriminate against me. [2] Some would argue that this is closely aligned with reality.
