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.
