Title: Reaffirm the values of the majority
============== CHOICE TEXT BELOW ==============
Debian commits to give priority, resources, and energy, to those who
actually get the work done in the distribution.
We explicitly refuse to acknowledge irrelevant political issues such as misogyny, ableism, transphobia and all other similar concerns that have nothing to do with the technical work that is the focus of our
distribution.
We also commit to respecting and preserving the good name of the people
who write and maintain the software that we use daily. Should they
become the target of accusations that may tarnish their well earned reputation, we will stand behind them and refuse to hold them
accountable for anything except the quality of their technical
contributions.

We explicitly refuse to acknowledge irrelevant political issues
Hello,
It seems highly likely that the message to which I'm replying was not
sent or authorized by Enrico, and that its sender is trying to mislead
Debian members by impersonating a prominent and respected developer.

I was surprised to read this apparently coming from Enrico, particularly since it doesn't seem consistent with what Enrico has said in other
threads regarding RMS. It turns out not to be signed with the same key.

I did actually read this as satire and was quite amused by it - II would appreciate it if we could keep satire and comedy a bit dialed
didn't think it could have been read as a serious request until the
first response to it.

I’m not amused by it. I liked the 1st April joke, but this is not fun anymore and the fact that someone as respectful as Enrico does that
makes me thinking about some ballot options in a different light.
I’d like to get rid of this matter and vote ASAP but considering
something important and related can happen in two weeks (e.g. the whole
FSF board may resign), is it possible to change a vote later during the voting period? According to the constitution, 4.2.6, “The Secretary determines for each poll whether voters can change their votes.” but I can’t see this information in the ballot e-mail.
