Would you please stop pointing with fingers at people here?
"Your people"?
I think John and Gustavo did a very well job of trying to keep
objective. There was interest in what the Debian way is and they took
the time to explain. They may have been biased, but that is only
natural, considering where they are coming from. It's not really
anybody's fault that some things were misunderstood.
Me, I am simply grateful that they took the time.
That said, I also think the summary misinterprets the thread, but
then, I think it means something different to each of us.

Do you really think insulting people will help? He already showed that
it matters to him by taking the time to rewording it. How about
writing a summary yourself and submit it?
