Manoj-
For one thing, it would be good to know what the users think. Sure,
Debian isn't for "users" in the strict sense. Ideally, everyone has to
contribute to Debian. It is only that not that many effectively can...
Those who are able, like you seem to claim to be, sometimes get caught
up in these self-righteous arguments and that attitude. And then, ad
hominem attacks...
But what is the rationale, truly, of synching the releases of the 11
architectures? There has _got_ to be a better argument then the ones
you've given ("hey, this is Debian, don't like it, screw you").
When you consider the current sistuation in the GNU/Linux world (United
Linux, for instance), it's immediately clear that Debian is the only
true distro out there. In that context, it is important to get releases
for i386 and PPC out sooner than later.
Don't you think?
