> No, damage control or image management in no way implies a Company or PR department. Any group can engage in these activities. Later you point out, the OP appears to be affiliated with Debian. 1. I said it seems he is affiliated, but anybody can nick name himself a variant of "debian developer" in any forum. 2. It implies that a formal body of the organisation, that can be a single person like the DPL, else it's not damage control by Debian like you suggest, but that of a single person - which can hardly be framed as damage control in this case, the blog did clearly refer to Debian as a whole, not a single person. > I am not expecting the OP to solve the problems, but I am suggesting that it would be more constructive to comment [...] That's what you say now, but not what you said originally. As said, change needs to come from Debian within, not some HN discussions - talk is cheap. Thanks for the constructive down vote, though ;-)
