I question whether it is censorship to remove and/or seperate racist material from acceptable things. If someone started to include X-rated pictures in Debian, does that mean you would argue their right to do so because Debian shouldn't censor? There is a difference between basic QA and censorship, IMO. On the one hand Quality Assurance/Control can filter out stuff that is pure trash and of absolutely no value. On the other hand, censorship would be filtering out something that may be of value but someone deems they don't want. What value does this so-called "joke" provide? IMO, people are too worried about censorship when they admit they find something very offensive, but still think it shold be included in a Software Package. Can you see the field day MS would have if they could download a few Debian packages and say "See? All this Linux nuts are a bunch of racists!" Would it be true? No. Would it appear that way to non-Linux users? Quite possibly. -Tim -- ---------------------------------------------------------------- Timothy R.
