	I don't see Deb spending a lot of time playing politics.  I don't
see Deb developers spending a lot of time on other mailing lists
or newsgroups proselytizing Debian over other dists.  For the most
part, we do our thing, and let word-of-mouth bring new people to
Debian.  Whether Debian can survive the long run with just
word-of-mouth promotion is an open question, though.
