Re: If Linux Is About Choice, Why Then ...

[Michael Fothergill <michael.fothergill@gmail.com>]

I think choice in food is important - e.g. flavours of spam:

Closed Source:

Regular Spam Hot & Spicy Spam Jalapeño Spam Spam with Black Pepper Low Sodium Spam Low Fat Spam Roast Turkey Spam Hickory Smoked Spam Spam Spread  Bacon Spam Cheese Spam Garlic Spam Teriyaki Spam Chorizo Spam Macadamia Nut Spam Portuguese Sausage Spam

Open Source

Systemd Spam

Openrc Spam

etc

I've never been a Debian developer. What would the admin team do if someone
forked the installer to add that option and submitted it as a variant?
