It is usually best to avoid introducing politics in any form in a discussion unless it is one-on-one or something like a political rally where the controversy is expected.
In general, I think you are right. What we are doing here is technical in nature. But in this case, politics have a direct impact on our usage of Fedora and our contributions to the Fedora project.
Look at this for example. This guys Fedora Account go deleted immediately when he said that he was from Syria, because of US export restrictions:
To be very clear, I don’t blame the moderators on this forum. It seems like they were sorry that they had to do this. What is to blame is politics getting involved in Fedora, because Fedora abides to US export restrictions. In the current, well, let’s say, uncertainty, you never know if what happened to this Syrian guy might not also happen to Canadians/Mexicans/Europeans tomorrow or on the 2. of April or whenever. I think that it is perfectly natural for people to feel the need to talk about that with other Fedora users and Fedora contributors to make up their mind about what this means for us.
