It takes a lot of energy to play politics.
I don't see Deb spending a lot of time playing politics. I don't see Deb developers spending a lot of time on other mailing lists or newsgroups proselytizing Debian over other dists. For the most part, we do our thing, and let word-of-mouth bring new people to Debian. Whether Debian can survive the long run with just word-of-mouth promotion is an open question, though. -- Ed C.
