Again, I'm switching distros regarding to my needs and I disagree. Slavko mentioned the same as I did: "[snip] all [snip] decisions must follow the policy documents [snip]". AFAIK there's no distro that does listen much to the users. They've got a policy and usually they tend to be as close to upstream as possible. As mentioned before, I dropped Debian for the (long) moment, but this depends to my needs. People with special needs IMO are watching more than just one distro.
