@tante Hey @corbet, it's been awhile since we met! You've asked to not discuss this on the article itself.
So maybe this is a better forum?
"Someone's stance isn't relevant." I don't think we can afford that anymore (if we ever could); e.g., to pick different example, the influence of anti-democratic/billionaire-owned companies on FLOSS, ...
I don't think LWN does the community a service by blocking those discussions.
Will this create strive? No. It'll make it *visible*.
