Right, I think agreement (or disagreement) with those essays explains a lot of what practical choices you make. > We're not a religion, we're just building a distro. I'm not sure what to make of that. Are you saying that Guix, Trisquel etc who strive towards these concepts are not distro's? One person's religion is another person's reasonable beliefs. I'm not sure who has the authority to judge. I'm sure some would dismiss the DFSG as religion, even if we happen to like it here. It is fine for the Debian community to dismiss the arguments described in the links above. This appears to be the case, although I hear some voices that are open to change. However if Debian dismiss those ideas, the argument that the fully free installer doesn't exist because "nobody is working on this, go create them and it will happen" does not seem valid to me. My reading is that these images doesn't exist because Debian had a vote saying they should not exist. I hope this will change in the future. Creating them won't change the decision, but it may be input to renewed discussion. /Simon
