Is someone quitting? Hay, maybe we are getting close to a
release. On the other hand, trivializing objections people have to
commercialization of Debian does not advance your cause. I do have
objections to Debian starting down this path, and for precisely the
same reasons: I think that the influx of money would make it hard to
prevent abuse, or the appearance of abuse, and the resulting ill-will
would be detrimental to the project.
