Yes.
FYI Not my new toy. I'm not affiliated with and have no relation to

You mean user's involvement. You don't want users to be invited to
participate in Debian. Debian isn't elitist and it shouldn't care that
the tool being deployed is money rather than time.
Your argument invites

It's not a false equivalence. Participation is not just about being a
