Well, sure. It is an essential characteristic of mythological belief systems to ascribe "existence" to the unmeasurable, unprovable, and unfalsifiable. Since the Debian Project is a large and diverse organization, and since mythological belief systems have a tendency to be mutually contradictory, I assert that we cannot be guided by the proscriptions of any particular mythological belief system. -- G.
