> I have more ideas that seem really compelling to me, but, based on how my previous projects have been going, I don’t think I can make any of these ideas happen within the Debian project. Interesting article. I had a chance of asking two distributions about some particular feature (making it easier to get GPG keys of developers). The first one I contacted was Gentoo: they quickly CCed my email to relevant people, discussed the matter between themselves and deployed the change in a week. Then I contacted Debian about the same thing. The email was basically identical. But the reply was largely negative, complaining about details and openly avoiding work. The entire interaction reminded me of large corporations where any change is met with resistance for resistance sake. (I use Arch btw.)
