No, by all means, go on discussing until forever. We do need to come
to an end, though. And that's why I see it beneficial, if EPEL decides
to ban this until Fedora-land resolves it after the discussion comes
to an "end".

If there were consensus then there would *never* be a need for voting
(and that doesn't only apply to EPEL), right?

This is not about censorship, feel free to discuss until forever, I
just want to see it resolved, there is now a thorn twisted in EPEL's
side, and whatever the result of a vote would be it would at least
bring peace to my trouble mind. I'm sure others would like to see this
ending, too.

We are not censoring anyone, but we need to take actions, too.
