I know a lot of people in open source. And there is a certain type of person seen time and time again in our groups. They believe that everything should be nonpolitical. And we should blindly go forward pretending that nothing exists outside of the project. Well people exist, and you need people to make the project go. So it’s a little difficult to ignore world events when they are big enough.

We already played Cold War.
