That's an excellent point. I find the statement that it's SPI's mission
to do those things etc to be rather pompous. Since Debian is the main
vehicle SPI has to accomplish this, this means that the Debian developers
are expected to do those things. I don't think it's *fair* to expect
something like that at all. Suddenly, it seems the developers are here
to serve SPI.
