I agree that this is a problem. Mike, please stop discouraging serious software engineers (and others) from working on Debian with your rude and insulting posts to this list. > You have written of the difficulty of getting bugs fixed in key packages. > Debian has laudable goals but the execution is often farsical.

I don't see any other "experienced software engineers" that have elected you as their spokesman, so you must be referring to yourself. Maybe you are an experienced software engineer, I wouldn't know; I haven't seen you contribute any software to Debian, just a whole lot of hot air. Which puts you squarely in the category of people who don't contribute anything of substance to Debian, but will tell everyone how we should change Debian so that you *will* be willing to contribute and be our savior. Well, nuts to you, Mike, you're a jerk, why in the world would anyone want to encourage *you* to be more "involved" in Debian anyway? -- Steve Langasek Give me a lever long enough and a Free OS Debian Developer to set it on, and I can move the world.
