Wie würdest du denn "anderweitig verpartnert" definieren? Gilt man so, sobald man ein paar Wochen oder Monate miteinander ausgeht? Nachdem man zusammenzieht? Muss man Kinder haben? Wenn man von Kindern spricht, wie sieht es mit Sorgerecht und Elterlichen Pflichten aus?

Eine gesetzlich geregelte Ehe sorgt für rechtliche Sicherheit und klärt alle diese Fragen und weiter auf einmal.

They removed russian maintainers that are associated with sanctioned companies. Individual russian contributers were unaffected by this.

While I agree with the sentiment, the decision to remove these maintainers seems to have been purely legally based. It stands to reason that the Linux foundation will follow and remove sanctioned Israeli maintainers if they end up on a list of sanctioned companies/people.

Your words, not mine. If they were afraid of malicious code coming from these sources they would've removed them earlier and not only after their legal department recommend these maintainers be removed.

Open source doesn't mean that malicious code isn't impossible though. For a project as large as the Linux kernel it is unlikely, but see the xz-utils incident earlier this year for example. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XZ_Utils_backdoor

I don't have any confirmations of your points

The kernel and its changes are open source, you can just look at the changes that were made.

Maintainers (not contributers or their contributions) associated with sanctioned russian companies were removed. The Linux foundation is a legal entity that has to comply with international sanctions.

That's cheating, none of that movie made any sense whatsoever.

Es wird / wurde im letzten Fall ja gar nicht drüber abgestimmt. Es war abzusehen, dass es keine Mehrheit findet also wurde die Abstimmung gestrichen. Das Gesetz bzw der Gesetzesentwurf wurde also nie offiziell abgelehnt.

Agreed. The important difference here is that in these cases they do not serve in their form as a (military) force. They have no more authority in these situations than a random citizen already performing said tasks. Performing policing duties, they inherently have power and authority.

There's a reason you separate military and the police. One fights the enemies of the state. The other serves and protects the people. When the military becomes both, then the enemies of the state tend to become the people.

Could you post the median values or even better visualise the distributions or give the data? Sauber had a few really bad pit stops at the beginning of the season which pulls their average down a lot, but doesn't affect the median that much.
