Excuse me, where in earth I've said such thing?
I've just said that sid CDs/DVDs should not be distributed, as the
Debian FAQ says. I'm just asking for a little bit of respect for a work
which is not yet finished.
I'm fed up of hearing about people trying to install Debian from sid CDs
and asking about it on the lists. It could be that you are helping
some people, but I have no doubt that you are harming some users at
the same time.
