Yes it is.

If only it was.

I don't think 3 letters agency cares about a Debian statement for RMS, >neither they would care who voted what for our CoC or welcoming everyone

that the vast majority of DDs don't care about these as well... (just
see how many didn't care voting...)

This said, I think it is time to vote anonymously.

I may be a dissonant voice in the current discussion, but at least *I*
do not mind if my vote is disclosed: I take the full responsibilities >attached to my voting, and I'm ok for other DDs to know my opinion. I

A number of our developers have already been receiving *nasty*
threatening mails from morons out there due to involvement in the RMS
debate. I won't say which "side" of the RMS discussion those morons
were claiming to support (you can probably guess!), but that's not
important here.

Against such a background, I can certainly understand people being
intimidated into choosing not to vote publically. You (and I) may not
feel directly affected by such threats, but that does not make them
any less real.
