To add to this question:
Do candidates think Debian "competes" for "share"/"mindshare" of users
and contributors in the "Linux distro" category? And if so, what do they
think users and contributors expect from a "universal" distro in 2020?
Do we think it even matters, or is it being reimagined?
Do candidates think that Debian has far more technical deliverables than
packages in a repo plus installers? And if so, do candidates think the
organizational structure [1] accurately reflects this? Would DPL
candidates propose changes to the organizational structure? How would
they use, for example, delegations to re-shape the org structure?
