I’m inclined to agree. Like, I get it - the Debian maintainer used inflammatory language and the conversation devolved from there. I’d really love to see some real discussion about how the upstream devs can justify their claims that these features don’t increase the attack surface. I also understand that they don’t want their bug tracker filled with Debian specific issues because of this, but can we not also have a discussion about the desire for people to have a stripped down version?

I for one wasn’t even aware that my offline password manager has networking features at all.
