Adopting a hardline philosophical attitude will not endear you or the projects you're associated with to the rest of the Debian community. Taking a pragmatic attitude now will make it far easier to do it properly in the long term. Yes, in an ideal world Debian wouldn't be Linux-centric - however, it is, and the fact that the Linux ports are the only ones in an even vaguely releasable state gives them a significant degree of priority. -- Matthew Garrett | [EMAIL PROTECTED]
