I agree that things that are obviously wrong should be banned. And
"artistic nudity" is perfectly good, and I realize that people will
argue about what counts as artistic nudity. And at that point we just
have to let the project contributors decide.

I also think that you should be reasonably confident that you won't get
arrested for downloading an image you didn't know whas in the package.
That's something to keep in mind too.

Cheers,
