As far as I'm concerned, the problem is that I see that the Debian dist, a great one (if not the greatest) for technical and ethical reasons, cannot face the publicity and marketing power of commercial linuxes. Because of that, it will lose 'market share' in front of commercial linuxes, causing interest in Debian to slowly fade away. And that will force it to become less and less developed, as compared to the others dists, and I'll lose the dist I prefer. But as the discussion evolves, I'm more and more thinking that going for-profit dist will simply kill the essential spirit of Debian.
