If I have one regret from my 18 years in Debian, it's that when the

in very unhealthy directions.

We're fucked! (in my perception of this language there is no better way to say this).

I know that no person is irreplaceable, but for as long as I know Debian, I have

experienced Joey as a voice of reason -- seemingly indistractable from technical

matters, and one of the giants whose proverbial shoulders are carrying this project.

If the trajectory towards a more inclusive project does not have enough room to

accommodate people like him, I doubt that the price we need to pay for the achieving

this goal is worth it.
