> who is ever using xsnow We don't know? Debian doesn't spy on users.

  popcon shows 302 users as of now: https://qa.debian.org/popcon.php?package=xsnow https://qa.debian.org/popcon.php?package=xsnow

    302 installs, could be one person with 302 virtual machines, and could be 1 million with popcon disabled (which is the default).

      It could also be 302. You cannot just invent a massive user base because you have no information. Given how niche the software is there is no reasons to believe it is widely used in places where that would cause issues. I suspect not a single person has been impacted by seeing Ukrainian flags. The push back in this is obviously coming from an anti Ukraine sentiment

        I do agree that the user base is possibly minuscule. But as I said in other comments, even if it only happened to one single person, I wouldn't consider it an acceptable risk. We've removed stuff from debian for way less than this. > The push back in this is obviously coming from an anti Ukraine sentiment You can read minds?
