Hi Salvo, I would like to make a parallel with trying to board a flight with elementary school scissors that are 1mm longer than permitted... The problem is not that they are dangerous, the problem is that airports are big, busy and do not afford making case-by-case judgements at a routine scale. Debian is a kind of package airport, there are aspects of it that are essential for us and for our users, and there is probably no way to dramatically reduce our scale. But on the other hand the gain also comes with losses that we can not reject. I remember myself looking at the fortunes-it-off source package when I was grumpy about double standards and was feeling like ranting about it. From a morale point of view, my behaviour is the problem, but from a systems point of view, the problem is the package. Its mere existence does create negative waves. Removing the package from future releases will not remove it from users systems, and people who want to install it still have plenty of easy ways to do so. I understand your point of view but maybe there are better battles to fight for.
