I would like more free distributions to see being approved. So I am not favoring Hyperbola GNU/Linux-libre. I can see the checklist for Hyperbola fully completed here: https://libreplanet.org/wiki/Hyperbola And I can see the page on incoming distributions here: https://libreplanet.org/wiki/Incoming_distros#Distros_currently_being_evaluated_by_the_community yet I do not see a checklist for those other distributions, and I can see on their websites that they cannot by merits be compared to Hyperbola GNU/Linux-libre > if you are must ask about the progress rate, > then the appropriate question today would be: > "how long do you expect before the evaluations > of both freenix and libertybsd are completed and > those are removed from the queue as to put > hyperbola in priority position?" Sorry I am not that eloquent.

Isn't the checklist there for exactly that reason to speed up the evalutation, so now when checklist is over, that should be the basis for evaluation or next step. So those other distributions shall demonstrate to be complete distro, that there is no name confusion, that there are no trademark issues, and so on, just as given on: https://libreplanet.org/wiki/Hyperbola and that would be the list of characteristics that would push the distribution forward. In fact when a checklist have been completed so fully, that would be the reason to speed up. "No timelines" like you say, is not acceptable by any standard of this world. For any business we do, we put timelines and have expectations. Next time, Jean
