If DC feels he wants to form a new distribution, then I too would
encourage him to go for it.
I think DC thinks it it easy to run a large group like Debian. His
experience will be worthwhile. My feeling is that most of us using the
Debian distribution are thankful for what Bruce and many others have done.
To Bruce and other developers I have this to say to you guys - "Take
heart.. Out of 30,000 (just a pure speculative guess) and maybe more
people who use Debian distribution how many of them have other motives
than a smooth running of Debian?".
On the otherhand I am glad we have various Linux distributions with
different organizational structures. If one is unsatisfied with one they
can start their own distributions or join other guys. Nobody is going to
get everything they want.
To DC
Once you get your own distribution (take all those guys in debian-dissent
too :) ), let me know how many packages you have and how many people care
enough to use your distributions. And also let me know when some nuts
wants to do something that is not in the interest of your distribution -
how you will respond - Good luck
