That works both ways. If Ai contributed work gets forbidden, persons who 
enjoy the Ai assisted way of developing software will be forced to do 
that work outside Debian. That inevitably will cause some disengagement 
from Debian as well, just not because people feel like disengagng, but 
because their work has become verboten in Debian.

I think that's considerably worse.
