With an attitude like this, it is suddenly much less of a mystery why LSB seems not to give a damn about Debian and distributions based on it. The assertion that Debian's interfaces are "actively hostile to new users": 1) is subjective at best 2) belied by the development of debconf 3) belied by the work I've done over the past 3 years to make XFree86 less unpleasant to deal with on Debian systems 4) indicative of irrational prejudice I'm reconsidering my offer to participate in the LSB process, in light of the likelihood that your view of Debian is an influential one. It may be the case that the only way Debian can get a document of any utility out of the LSB is by forking it. Should this happen, I suggest we use the debian-policy process, which has been proven effective. -- G.
