Consider the following statement: On the other hand, $PROJECT upstream explicitly decided NOT to ban profanity, as they consider banning profanity to be a political move and to go against $PROJECT's principle of political neutrality. Would people be arguing to ship that project, unmodified, in Fedora? Try the same statement with s/profanity/sexually explicit images/. Or anything that offends some people irrationally. Besides, the KDE position doesn't make any sense -- you either ship (for example) a Taiwanese flag, or you don't. Either way, you've thrown your opinion into the ring. Only by _avoiding_ flags altogether do you get to avoid participating in the political debate, and remain neutral. -- David Woodhouse Open Source Technology Centre David.Woodhouse@xxxxxxxxx Intel Corporation -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
