Who said there is two exactly identical distributions? The point was that
instead of actually improving the libre derivate distribution, people spend
time in fixing freedom bugs from 10 different libre distribution. How is that
not duplicate work? Another issue is different non freedom bugs, which must
be fixed for a distro to become good. It doesn't matter are they similar
between distros because they have to be fixed for each distro. So, actually,
if they are different bugs like you said, then that just means more work
because the solution to fix them does not work from one distro to another.
Now, lets go more abstract. I am sure you can handle this.
Let there be Y distributions with X bugs in each. Z people will be working on
X * Y bugs, instead of Z people working on X bugs.
Understand?
What is funny in all this is that people say that it is not worth it to do
another libre distro, yet they say it is good to have 10 libre distros.
Double standard much?
Could you chose how it is, or is it so that 10 distros is The Holy Amount of
distros xD
Anyway, have had enough of arguing about this here. In the first place I just
wanted to say my opinion without beginning to argue about it.
You are free to have your opinions, they can be different than mine, and we
can still get along, I think.
