Hello, Thank you for your mail.
The reason MATE is not in Debian is that nobody has put the work in to make it so. In Debian, things happen thanks to developers putting effort in, usually in their spare time. Whilst it's true that some people believe MATE should not be included in Debian, they do so for technical reasons, not religious ones - and they won't prevent it being included so long as people are prepared to put the work in. Some people have started to put the work in - see <http://bugs.debian.org/658783>. However the timing is such that it will not be included in the next Debian stable release. It might make the one after that… -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
