I do agree, that it's a different level of endorsement, but it's gradual.

It's easy to go in this or that direction from that point: Either not
wanting the name Debian asscociated with certain companies at all and
turn down sponsorships. Or going in the other direction and turn a blind
eye on whatever companies do outside our field, i.e. free software.

I'm fine with maintaining a pragmatic position in the centre, though.

PS: Certifying an MNT device is certainly far less controversial ;-)
