I have come to the same conclusions as vpinci
Sadly i started with gdNewHat in 2013 (abandoned japanese project)
http://linux.softpedia.com/get/System/Operating-Systems/Linux-Distributions/GdNewHat-GNU-Linux-libre-102603.shtml
Along with BLAG 140000 Spartacus , Blag 160000 Verne, (this should
distribution should be removed from the FSF list !!! ) Freedora 19 /20, along
with gNewSense 2.3, 3 Parkes & Ucclia 4 ...all these projects are either
defunct, kaput, asleep or dead ..ect..
Then 2 years here with Trisquel 7 !
It's not a question of LTS software, its' a question of organization and
contributions, this project much evolve and the non-communication has turned
off my enthousiasm, entirely.
You may ask yourself why 2 very kindhearted & talented irakis in a worn torn
country are capable of spinning 3 versions of Uruk in a year !

while yes Trisquel is still in Alpha, if other devs are not attracked to this
os, there must be a reason..this project must be capable of critisism,
and mostly self critism, and solutions must be found.
Maybe Ruben could just maintain the "packaging" part of the infrastructure
(kernel, packages) and let the community find other solutions and make
community respins.Uruk could very well replace Trisquel (why not?)
On a big sailing boat (like a schooner), the skipper is peanuts without a
*professional crew*, and team work, team spirit is
the only way you can get to win a race at sea with a crew..but if you want
(play) solo like the Vendée Globe then you still need sponsors, and a whole
team behind you that prepares your boat, in fact it's much harder, more
pressure on one mans shoulder.
Often the answer is the lack of contributors.
Why exactly and how come ?
Part of the this is you need to build an infrasture (with tools) that is
organized and replys to people that wish to to contribute.This obviously
means *teams* have various responsibilities, like any other big distribution
(organisation) and defining clear goals and objectives, so that everyone can
participate,whatever his level, his availability, this must be encouraged.
Ruben has certainly worked very hard over the years, and we owe him a lot of
respect and a million thanks. This could be the occasion to set a new course
for the project, or even start a new project.
I'm leaving Trisquel

Trisquel-devel] you're killing contributors' motivation, Ruben
