Watch the reactions of technical people in your circles to the #debian vote. It will tell you a lot about who they really are. Justifying the unjustifiable, finding 'middle roads' to blatantly harmful behavior, etc.
I always say that I don't judge people by whether or not they make the ethical decision when it's easy to make. I judge them by what decision they make when it's going to cost them. That tells you who they really are.
