There will be plenty of useful conversations we can have even if we have
different perspectives, it's up to you to decide if you'd like to stay.
But for my purposes, it works better to work closely with a community
that does agree on values such as this. Imagine the endless threads it
would generate if we disagreed on this key point.

You know, classically, this was a GNOME vs KDE value, but I don't
believe it is that any more. I've seen KDE folks increasingly aligned
with this value too.
