> Debian lost its way. Bugfixes get burried into political bullshit far too frequently.

You know, that's funny. Debian has neven been as pragmatic and apolitical as it's now. Bugfixes never had so little red tape. And yes, they often get lost in political discussion; it's just your memories that are too rose-colored.

(By the way, I'm a happy Debian user. Wouldn't switch to any other main distro, altough a few niche ones look promissing.)
