IMHO the list brought up by Andreas Tille is not really useful, because there are more aspects than quantity. And there are also lots of missing aspects, like nowadays you dont need any non-free software anymore (provided you use the "right" hardware and some other requirements like your specific needs), this has been different a few years ago when we relied on netscape, acrobat, kde (qt was non-free)... The same goes for number of packages, architectures or even bugs. The more of those also means the better (not in all but certainly in some aspects.) Of course, growth brings some problems. But it also comes with more (wo)menpower and more solutions... I dont see growth as a bad thing per se. regards, Holger
