Why require so hardly such neutrality? I mean other projects did so by the past 
(like 
supporting uyghurs or dunno, other geopolitical stuff) and that doesn’t stop 
from software 
freedom or contribution… to me that’s alike people stating anything personal 
(like «i like 
pasta», or dunno) or humor or what in projects: at least it makes it 
(nonpermanently) more 
personal and identifiable, maybe it even can increases contribution.

very good question, although unfortunately your statement, being more policy 
targetted, is 
likely more appropriated here :'D
