But the customers are already pulling the flow. Look what happens on the
mailing lists. Do you need a marketing department to tell the tech
department what the customers want (as happens in most software companies,
I think) or do you want the customers to talk directly to the tech
department? The latter is happening right now already for Debian.
Also, I think you can not really separate technology push and customer
pull for Debian. How many times has a user become a developer just to
incorporate a program he wants into the distribution?
