Quick idea? Not really... but quick wording for a non-native english
speaker, yes. That's one of the reason I not made a proposal on the
first try.

Agree with you... When the logo vote will be done, I will wait no more
than a week for Wichert Proposal (or at least some news from him about
something related), elsewhere I will make it a formal Proposal
(referring to Manoj's Policy Document).
As I previously said, I know that my proposal have some drawbacks and
I wait Wichert for something more well thought and scalable. The
"gracefullness blowing" of Debian is a major concern in the distro for
too much time (I remember to have seen this subject when Bruce was the
leader) and I think my solutions is easy enough to implement and will
really help.
At least, is really better than a RH-like-contrib distribution (something
I think we could avoid by NOT dividing the distro with priorities (like
standard-and-greater and less-than-standard distros).
I could think of many other ways to divided the distro. My "future
proposal" is just the simpler way I can think to keep our fully
integrated distro (one of the strongest points of Debian, IMHO) when
managing the always bigger problem of Debian exponential growth.
Just my 2 pennies,
