i have no wish to waste my time. figure it out for yourself - it won't
make any difference anyway, because you're determined not to see any POV
other than your own.

that would be right. mediocre people tend to think that only arseholes
bother to get things right.
i'm glad that debian is made by and for people who want to be better
than mediocre. i'm sick to death of mediocre people and this mediocre

there's enough distributions out there where mediocrity is good enough.
feel free to use one of them if debian's pursuit of excellence disturbs
you.
