>Description:
        I've always had a feeling that the FreeBSD team stays away from
        politics. There are many people that influenced the man's history.
        Why we should point at one of them? If we are really out of politics
        then we shouldn't.

        And now I prefer to shut up and code.
>How-To-Repeat:
>Fix:
        I propose the same meaning but at non-political manner
        for the Fortune File Commit Policy (official FreeBSD site).
