Um, that's a mission statement, not a vision. A vision is a series of
goals for a project, like "my vision is that we will produce knoppix
like catalyst+template releases for myth, firewalls-on-a-disk, etc by
the 2007.0 release."  a mission statement is "we'll make the best from
source distro ever." i.e, mission statements never change because they
are just an overarching definition of a project, not the vision or goal
it might be working towards at the moment.

somebody shoot me, my job in middle management is finally getting to me.
