Yes, there surely are better terms to use for characterising the relationship of Debian recipients to the Debian Project. The issue is that the term “customer”, which some have argued should pass without comment when people claim it, should be challenged because of the false expectations and assumptions it carries. It does not help to characterise the relationship with that term. And that remains so, regardless of the merits of other terms. -- \ “I used to be an airline pilot.
