By having such low standards for admission that *anybody* can join the project, even if all they do is maintain some silly dockapp for some window manager. The more software is in Debian, the more people work on Debian, the harder it becomes to get everything into sync across all the architecures supported by Debian. Many of our users have expressed dissatisfaction at our slow release cycle, but I don't see us addressing their concerns at all. Package pools and testing were supposed to do that, but now it's the new installer that holds us up. After the new installer will come something else. The Debian project is too large and unweildy and it won't get any better if it continues on its current course. noah -- _______________________________________________________ | Web: http://web.morgul.net/~frodo/ | PGP Public Key: http://web.morgul.net/~frodo/mail.html
