All right, you don't seem to understand the idea with Debian.
Debian and KDE project are not the same thing.
Why do you think helix gnome isn't in Debian? Because of technical
reasons? No, it's because gnome.org is an organization, helix.com
is a commercial entity, debian.org is another organization, gnu.org
is another organization, and kde.org is another. We are not the same, we
don't even have the same goals or principles. We care about things other
than software. That simple.
Anyone who claims that these entities should collaborate is a traitor!
Thanks,
PS: As the title suggests, this is a joke. All similarities with actual
people or events are pure coincidence.
PS2: How nice, debian is in FOLDOC. I hadn't noticed that.
