Are those the only two possible ways to respond to the current
situation at Debian? I can think of other ways. Am I not free to
continue to use Debian because I think it is very good though
not exactly what I want it to be? And am I not free to continue to
use Debian even if I cannot convince the maintainers to fix every
single Debian bug I experience? Debian is amazing, it has a unique
place in the free software world. I expect to be a Debian user for the
foreseeable future.
Best regards,
Chuck
