No. There's a *huge* difference between repackaging a small selection of packages, around a small number of architectures aimed at a small range of uses, and forking Debian. Could you expand on why, as you infer, that is not such a "fine distinction" - or are you "all froth and no beer"? > How is a fork all that different than a derivative? Having proposed that it's "a fine distinction" it would be more appropriate to answer your own question and support your earlier claim - don't you think? > >> [*1] I haven't noticed anyone volunteering to do the work - as >> opposed to "organizing" others. > > Well, that's the point of the discussion Clearly unrelated from that which you are responding to. > - to suss out who's willing > and able to do the work. Are you willing to do any of the work? <snipped - off-subject FUD> You've been given many opportunities to substantiate your claims - all you've done is make assertions you will not back, avoid giving direct answers to polite questions, attack those who don't toe your extremist views as "systemd fanbois" and players in conspiracies, and claim offence and attack where none was given.
