A very simple question: what existing issue would it solve?
Thanks Alex, good question.
It would communicate an opinion to our users. If Inkscape is interested in Free Software as an ecosystem, or industry, or Open Source as a method or working; then we can recommend other Free Software or Open Source things when we depend on them, for examine operating system.
If we have no opinion, we can communicate that too via abstaining.
Of course this somewhat gets into why any particular developer is involved, and I understand Free Software itself is not always or even mostly the reason. And so you'll see a bit of technical rhetoric being thrown out here, but I don't believe Inkscape working well on Ubuntu is really the best argument for why a project might have an opinion to share.
