I agree with nuno in that segregating leads to disconnect. Like that
which we saw recently in the Debian community.

I agree with golinux that there's been too much chatter with too much
heat. I'll try very hard to keep my responses to hot topics and/or
settled law offlist, and if necessary, simply filter to /dev/null those
who repeatedly tempt me to negatively impact the list.

And I'm sorry for the part I played in the recent hot topic, and will
redouble my efforts to stay out of stuff like that.
