Clarifying this officially seem indeed very useful, both for Debian and
for the free software world at large, due to how relevant Debian is as
one of the important gatekeepers of what is free-software-ok and what is
not. Many people out there, and possibly even within the project, are
assuming that the current Debian AI Policy is an official project
position, whereas it is not. It's important to ratify it somehow.

Since the last time this was discussed, did anyone reach out to FTP
master to understand *if* they currently have already an official answer
to this question or not? I'm Cc:-ing them explicitly with this message,
just in case.

Aside from the potential constitutional implications of this (last time
it felt like I was the only one worrying about this aspect, so I'm
dropping it), it would still be interesting to know their take. And it's
quite possible they would actively welcome/encourage an official
project-wide vote on this matter.

Cheers
