Rhonda D'Vine, a Debian Developer from Austria, recently wrote about actively excluding people from free software projects.

At first glance, what D'Vine is proposing amounts to emotional blackmail.

D'Vine's musings reveal an Austrian/German cultural defect: a desire and willingness to control everybody around you or eliminate them. An unwillingness to invest in relationships with people you wouldn't normally count as close friends.

The fact that D'Vine independently derives this philosophy from her own environment, which includes Debian, suggests a disturbing possibility that those from a German cultural background will keep reviving the philosophy behind the Holocaust from time to time whenever they participate in a state or organization with mixed cultures.
