It's simple. If the work you intend to do related to open source software disagrees with Debian philosophy, you are expected to do it outside Debian.
Which is not onerous... unless Debian is "the central place for all open source development in the community".
Simply put, a community which refuses acceptance of those who disagree with its philosophy is a closed community, not an open one.
So, I hope Debian stays where it is, in the periphery, and never becomes "the central place" for anything.
That way, those who agree with their philosophy can go plain in that restrictive sandbox, while the rest of us are free to roam.
