You don't go to the author of Varnish for political advice, you go to the author of Varnish for technical advice. I'd be disappointed if he took advantage of his good name to push political advice when he got his reputation for being good at technical matters.

After all, is any of his technical advice invalid due to political concerns that are not wild speculation on your part?

Not to say that politics doesn't enter into it, just that it should be brought to the table and discussed by other actors. And those actors should probably be all ears about the technical issues.

How so? You seem to be distinguishing between politics actors (politicians?) and technical actors.

In a democracy it is not just important but essential that ALL have their say on policy, not just "political experts".
