Most, if not all of the arguments for, as well as against seem to be of a philosophical, rather than stringent technichnical nature. As such, they are probably not suited for this list. So my question as a relative newcomer to the Debian ecosystem is if there is an -advocacy list, where the philosophical differences can be beaten into the ground, while keeping this list at a more factual level? If not, where do I propose the creation of such a list?There already is one, but unfortunately no one is using it. :( http://lists.alioth.debian.org/mailman/listinfo/d-community-offtopicSo why, exactly, is the design philosophy and architecture of the Debian ecosystem not a legitimate topic for discussion among Debian users?The description of the debian-user list seems to be a misnomer. Perhaps it should read "Frontline support for users of the Debian Operating System."?
Why? "Help and discussion among users of Debian" seems like a perfectly good description and scope, of long standing. (Also note, apropos discussion of moderation - the list page states "This list is not moderated; posting is allowed by anyone.")
