My axe is the same one I often have in Technical Committee discussions. It is the axe of challenging the unaccountable power exercised by despotic Debian package maintainers, within the fiefdoms of their countless petty autocracies. My axe is the axe that would chop aside the barriers erected by those who dislike other people's software, and who use their position to obstruct and to destroy. My axe is the axe that would clear the path for collaboration. My axe is the axe of freedom for Debian's users and contributors.
