Debian is not a monolithic entity with policy being dictated
by the CEO and company lawyers. Debian is what the people who make
Debian want it to be. Some people want it to be highly popular. I am
not one of them, but I say if they want to make it so, and are
willing to do the work, more power to them.

As is your right. I, personally, work for Debian so that I can
have a high quality Linux distribution. Having it useful to other
people, espescially people I like, is a neat secondary thing.
Am I beholden to the unwashed masses out there? No way.
