Please re-read what I wrote, I'm not claiming it's not related to
Debian, at all; I'm claiming that the discussion is not on-topic for
debian-user, which is not a generic discussion forum, but a list
specifically focused on "community assistance and support for Debian
users".

I'm entirely neutral to the idea of a Debian fork; I am just pointing
out that this off-topic discussion is hijacking debian-user and that
it's not Debian's responsibility to host discussion about possible
forks. I'll go as far as saying that it _is_ Debian's responsibility to
make sure its resources are properly used for the actual _assistance_ of
its users. Keeping list discussions on-topic is one way of ensuring
this.

Discussions about the advantages and disadvantages of Ubuntu or Mint are
not on-topic for debian-user either. At least these forks/derivatives
_exist_.
