While we're talking about personal opinions, and clarifying for Dmitry, whom I never answered on the question of "what good is xbill to debian?" it's not entirely beneath me to chuckle at public figures at their expense. (What listener of CBC radio hasn't chuckled at the Canadian Air Farce poking fun at public Canadian figures, for instance? Or if that's not your nationality ... pick your favourite example of the same genre.) Yes, xbill is funny (to me) and I think enjoying a bit of silliness like this can enrich our lives. So my own feelings regarding lampooning Lennart in a game are, as I said, just my personal distaste for it. I find it too soon and unfunny, given what the Debian project has just been through over systemd. I'm not saying satire has no value for Debian, categorically. As for the rest of what you wrote, I can only agree. Cheers, Ben
