Are those the only two possible ways to respond to the current situation at Debian? I can think of other ways. Am I not free to continue to use Debian because I think it is very good though not exactly what I want it to be? And am I not free to continue to use Debian even if I cannot convince the maintainers to fix every single Debian bug I experience? Debian is amazing, it has a unique place in the free software world. I expect to be a Debian user for the foreseeable future. Best regards, Chuck
