the truth is that Sven was a prolific foss contributor with a complicated history with regards to other people.
you can acknowledge both contributions & faults, erasing his history of foss contributions wouldn't be the truth -- much like labeling him as nothing more than a predator wouldn't be the truth, either.
I'm not sure what you're advocating in this memoriam thread, to be honest -- total erasure of person and non-response from the projects they were involved with?
Isn't that a similar kind of non-whole truth that you're railing against all together?
