Why do you see those things as an improvement, what does it 'solve' (and what is Alpine?). Ofcourse we look at things like kernel 2.6 and initramfs and we will move on when it gain us something, but one step at a time. I think you point to the wrong kind of 'improvements', those listed are technical implementations. It doesn't make things necessarely 'better'. I would rather point to things like:
-Webconf -Easier upgrading -improve documentation (wiki) -package management -..... Those are things which are visible to the enduser and increase the user experience. >> In my opinion evolution doesn't only mean bring new leaf branches in >> and let others die (when people abandon a specific LEAF distro and >> move on to a "better" one which seems to be happened in the past). > >No, but sprouting new branches is a major part of the development model >I described.

Instead of reinventing the wheel again and again, you could also think of branches as using the existing framework to create specific functionality by using the existing packages. It's just an higher level view. There is also room enough for separate projects working on things like webconf and package management. I don't see a reason to compete within the limited room of a project with a small userbase. I believe in cooperation to use the limited resources we have to improve things with a common goal.
