Why do you hope "the existing Debian Live developers will be willing to
collaborate" when it is obvious you were not willing to collaborate?
You have gone about this in the totally wrong way and you are still going
about it in the totally wrong way.
The people who lose in this fiasco are the Debian Live development team and
Debian Live users (of which I am one who, btw, was hoping to expands
Debian's reach in the South Pacific).
We, Debian Live users, need a stable system to build our iso images. We had
that in Debian Live, you are unable to provide that (by your own
admittance) right now and when Debian Live is shut down there will be no
official support.
