I'll introduce the discussion, I'd rather not have someone as worthy as you be shot up on Debian-Boot email list.
Obviously, we are more civilized on this email list, but it seems that Debian-Boot is the wild and wooly frontier where new suggestions are met with barbs and malice. Sounds like a retarded group that doesn't realize the harm they do, but that's typical of the 21st century and for centuries before. We can only lead by example.
