Hmmm. My mother was able to stop taking insulin for her type 2 by changing her diet after doctors told her she would need insulin for the rest of her life. Are you saying it was all in her head? I have no idea why people keep saying this.

I do not know all the politics of this, but reducing transparency is never a good sign. I love Debian for their openness. Death spiral. Well that sucks. Where next? Ubuntu is horrible, Fedora, maybe? Manjaro?
