Soren,

Other projects - including Fedora and Ubuntu - have issues with the stability
of the code from a single developer. Those projects - and many individuals -
may also disapprove of controversial political opinions from the single
developer. 

On occasion, we *do* take wider considerations into account in the Project
before adopting DFSG-software.

All the very best, as ever,
