The less we know about the political opinion of each others, the better for
the project. After all we only agreed to uphold the SC and nothing else.
We are a technical entity. We do not need to know other developers opinions on
issues unrelated to FLOSS to work together, and let us face it, it is easier to
work together if we ignore whether we have major political disagreement.
And it is quite difficult discussing a ballot option without revealing such
opinions. We have enough topics for flamewar already. This will only leads
to more fracturation of the project.
But this GR is not about issuing political statements in general, it is about
issuing a particular statement, which leads directly to the second issue, are
GR (with the time limit, the amendment process, etc) the best medium to draft
political statement that correctly addresses the issue while furthering Debian
goal ?
