For Debian Med I have some proof of this statement which are those ten
developers that inserted "yes" in the column "DD because Debian Med
exists" in the developers questionaire I did[1]. In other words:
Because there is a Blend we do have the people working on its packages.
I admit that running a Blend is also extra work to explain it to people
but extra manpower of 10 people (which is one per year of the projects
life time) was worth the effort.
