Everything to do with Mandrake involves the public at large exactly as much as this issue, purely insofar as it's "the public at large" that uses rpmdrake. The idea that Mandrake have some special obligation to consult "the public at large" as to how to design software is your invention. Your usage of the term "free public debate" is the kind of thing I find intensely irritating about your tone throughout this debate; it's speechifying nonsense designed to elevate the debate to lofty abstracts and allow you to go on in your grandiose fashion about things that are rather irrelevant to the actual software. -- adamw
