Remember this is basically a meritocracy and that open sourced software tends to grow like a snowball down a hill: the first to do something seen as useful on a less than stinky way will "attract" attention and activity around him. Even know it's working just that way: why is it Shuttleworth now gossiping about time-based releases but because he believes on its value, probably based on ideas developed out of the fact of Ubuntu working -and working well, at least on his eyes, that way? That's why I said something in the lines of "don't worry about Red Hat, SUSE, whatever..." if you go and do it, you'll show it's possible and if it's useful others will "jump" onto your backseat in due time... and if it ends up not being so useful/good idea, well... hours and hours wasted on comitees to reach consensus won't make it any better anyway. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-project-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
