I must have misunderstood, I thought this was what Debian was all
about. Here I come in and point out that many users do not have
everything they need or want, start a project to do something about
it, and I am met with scorn and "that would be too much extra work for
us"
I guess this is to be expected, all societies started with lofty
goals and high ideals eventually fall prey to a similar fate.
