Instead, is it possible to make BTS reject encrypted (unreadable)
mails? In that way no particular service name has to be mentioned
and Debian members will be able to figure out the mail service
has got an issue.
Discouraging the usage of a certain service publically just
because of some technical issues (instead of ethical/moral/legal)
is very much likely problematic, as an organization.
Plus, the 5-th clause if DFSG is "no discrimination against
persons or groups". People outside the community will mock us
if we ban it like this.
I just felt some sort of resemblance to "XXX operating system
is evil, do not use it". Whether or not people agrees with it
personally, it is inappropriate to make such opinion official.
