It is this attitude that is sending Debian down the road of being an OS for
hackers only, where real people who want to get things done will have to use
a Debian-based distro, like Ubuntu. I noticed it when I first joined Debian
and it's only gotten worse over the years. I'm aware that most DD's don't
care about this. (At least, if anyone other than me cares about this,
they're not speaking up).
I'll continue attempting to provide perspective when I feel it's appropriate,
but if this attitude remains entrenched in our culture, I won't be surprised
if Debian becomes the next Slackware.
I also want to say for the record that Overfiend is hereby prohibited from
touching my onus.
