Debian is about > transparency. I disagree with you. All that people need to know outside Debian, is that you conceed with the Debian guidelines on freedom, nothing more. I have strong feeling about preserving privacy as far as possible, but this is OT here. But after rereading Marc's and Michael's post, I noticed, that they were not advocating putting your _specific_ views on such a page (Michael merely mentioned a small paragraph on your motivation). So my concerns are in fact irrelevant, as long as this page is not extended.
