It seems that there's a lot of controversy about the SysV-replacement that

as a relative newcomer to the Debian ecosystem is if there is an -advocacy
list, where the philosophical differences can be beaten into the ground,
while keeping this list at a more factual level?
If not, where do I propose the creation of such a list?
There already is one, but unfortunately no one is using it. :(

I suspect any list with "offtopic" in its name will get ignored
when there is a large number of people want to say something
about a specific topic.
Would a list whose address was "debian-user-newfeatures" be more
attractive?
So why, exactly, is the design philosophy and architecture of the Debian
ecosystem not a legitimate topic for discussion among Debian users?
The description of the debian-user list seems to be a misnomer. Perhaps
it should read "Frontline support for users of the Debian Operating
System."?
How about shorter and as explicit - "debian-user-support"?
I'm a new user with little systems background who finds Squeeze
LTS will suit my needs for foreseeable future. I'll likely skip
Jessie completely. Dust should have settled by then.
