Andrei, as I've said - these companies don't have the time or money to
contribute to Debian. Not that it would have made any difference - the
TC did not consult them when making their decision, and would not have
consulted them even if my clients had been contributing.
Andrei, I follow your advice here and appreciate it a lot. I've learned
a lot from you. And you can contribute all you want. But don't expect
everyone else to have the skills or means to do so.
Jerry
