Not at all. In every Debian GR there's a lot of people that don't vote.
Maybe they didn't care, maybe they were busy with other stuff in their
lives, maybe they just forgot to vote. Not voting doesn't mean you are in
opposition.

Also not true. The GR is to vote whether Debian issues a statement about
this or not. If you think Debian shouldn't issue a statement about this,
that's a totally valid opinion. The point of the GR is to gauge whether the
majority of DDs think that the project should or should not issue a
statement.  We won't know until the voting is over whether that's the case.

There's many reasons why someone might decide to be against such a
statement, and I don't expect people to be "targeted" because of that,
anymore that they could be targeted because they voted one way or the other
in any of the past GRs.
