Re: Outrage at Debian dropping security for 2.1
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
If you want us to support security, perhaps you
could propose some incentive? We are all volunteers
here at Debian, interested in putting out a quality
distribution. Your time is limited, otherwise I'm sure
you too would love to fix and upgrade your distribution
from source. But our time is also limited, and we want
the most bang for buck out of it. That means not fighting
the current of progress, and keeping up with new versions
of software.
If security updates are of concern to you, perhaps you
could get your company to pay some Debian maintainers to
work on the old distribution. If you have the time,
perhaps you would like to volunteer to do some of that
maintainership yours.
The distribution we've just released is the culmination
of 2 years of hard work for us. Try it. You'll like it.
Unlike many other distributions which require a reinstall
from scratch, Debian guarantees a reliable upgrade path.
Sincerely,
Jonathan Walther
Debian GNU/Linux Developer
