Well, many others did. And many others agreed with the other changes
you disagree with. These decisions have been made. The time for
discussion is _over_, unless you've got something more substantial
than the pot-shots you've been taking so far.
If you feel these changes make it impossible for you to use Debian,
we're sorry, but it looks like the time has come for you to move to
another distribution or start your own or whatever.
If these changes do not make it impossible for you to use Debian, then
please come up with something substantial enough that it might
actually make people reconsider (I'll give you a clue, "I don't see
the need" ain't likely to work---obviously the others did) or *drop
it*.
Mike.
