Like Jan, I want to avoid a campaign. I love Debian...but I use Ubuntu
for day to day stuff.
I want to submit this following suggestion (as a straw man): The project
is getting too BIG. Too many programs, too many platforms, too many
things to maintain, too many security releases needed.
Attack this idea or support it. If it gets support maybe we could think
about a slimmer Debian (even if it means losing support for my 80386,
Sob!)
