I have to agree re: the parent. It's a perfectly fine opinion to hold, though it's one I don't share. I asked and he/she told me.

Why? I think it's because although just as it's fine to be an atheist, it always seems weird when someone brings it up at dinner parties. We were discussing the whys and wherefores of a new Rust compiler. I'm not sure any lengthy expressions of our licensing religion or lack thereof is a positive contribution.
