Slavko mentioned the same as I did: "[snip] all [snip] decisions must
follow the policy documents [snip]".
Have you actually read the Policy? It's basically a document that
specifies how packages should integrate with each other. And it also
evolves as needed.
No, I didn't read the current policy of Debian, but there's a policy,
philosophy behind each distro.
AFAIK there's no distro that does listen much to the users.
Could you provide an example of a good and technically sound proposal
that was simply dismissed without a good reason?
I'm not willing to talk about the "good" reasons ;).
They've got a policy and usually they tend to be as close to upstream
as possible.
Diverging from upstream is much work. Debian already does that in many
areas and receives a lot of heat from various upstreams (and their
communities) for this. This is one of the downsides of diversity in
possibly the biggest repository of packaged software.
Correct and that's why I already pointed to issues, e.g. udev, that
nowadays is merged with systemd by upstream.
There always will be a blanket syndrome, whatever distro you use. If it
covers A, it can't cover B, but if it covers B, it can't cover A anymore.
