Hi Paul and everybody,
maybe I am too much of a scientist, but I prefer when the first paragraph
directly answers to the question "what is this ?". I tend to lose interest or
focus when reading narratives such as the first paragraph you propose below.

This said, the paragraph below (or the alternative versions discussed in this
thread) would be a nice improvement to the current page. Thank you for
proposing this.

By the way, I do not see the paragraph starting by "Debian Pure Blends are not
forks from" in your proposal. Are you suggesting to remove it ?
Have a nice day,
