For the past 20 years debian has shipped offensive content in the
non-offensive section.
2 years ago I started to work to rectify the situation.
Where was the community team for those 20 years?
Where are they now?
Why are they refusing to help?
Why is the reaction to waste my time instead of actually helping?
I leave you with a quote. It's not in the offensive section but it
might offend some.
I difensori della morale tradizionale sono raramente persone di cuore. Si è
tentati di pensare che essi si servano della morale come di legittimo sfogo
al loro desiderio di fare del male agli altri.
-- Bertrand Russell, Perché non sono cristiano. 1957
