Again, I'm switching distros regarding to my needs and I disagree.
Slavko mentioned the same as I did: "[snip] all [snip] decisions must
follow the policy documents [snip]". AFAIK there's no distro that does
listen much to the users. They've got a policy and usually they tend to
be as close to upstream as possible.
As mentioned before, I dropped Debian for the (long) moment, but this
depends to my needs. People with special needs IMO are watching more
than just one distro.
YMMV!
