Thank your very much for all your words. Maybe some official and very 
important debian maintaners think something over before they start to give 
themselves air again and they reflect on that why the Debian Project is the 
best distribution and why their growing personal ambitions can only damage 
this nice idea. Of course, they never stop it until their perception of 
environment is strongly limited to a length of their own noses.
