Yes and No.

Yes, on things where the Debian Developers have last say and/or
vote/decide on it. Very little will change the minds of the said
developers.

No, most Debian Developers are *VERY* *VERY* responsive to the users...
it is all about giveback in the first place. Bug reports, WNPP, RFP,
ITP... the whole thing is all about the users and the problems/requests
they have.

So, maybe I was a bit kirt, but Andrew Sackville-West got what I meant.

Lets hope, that people involved with this mess clean it up pretty soon
and consider the solutions available.
