No, not necessarily.  For many, it means that Debian Linux is dying

I encourage you to find out sooner, rather than later, but please don't
trouble to tell us whether it does or not.


Please DO report back.  Some of us really do want to know the state
of alternatives.
Apart from using your own resources to explore alternatives you will find
the experts at

    http://www.freelists.org/list/modular-debian

The list is tailored exactly to your needs and the needs of others with
similar thinking. They are actively seeking recruits. I am confident you
will be welcomed into a congenial coterie of like-minded people where
discussion of other operating systems is always on the agenda.

The vast majority on debian-user see this list as being for the support
of users who *use* Debian and not a talking shop about it. Encouragement
to pervert its purpose is little short of bad manners, no matter how
interesting a small number may find the topic. Please be considerate.


Ummm.... quite a few of us ARE using Debian, and HAVE BEEN using Debian, and discussion of comparisons and alternatives seems to be perfectly on topic.
