IMHO, the idea of paying privileged, pet, mercenary developers, while others work for free, was a VERY BAD IDEA! And it FAILED MISERABLY: (12-4-06 release? It's now 12-15-06 UT; still no release in sight). How would YOU feel working hard for $0/mo while someone else gets paid (perhaps) $6,000/mo for working on the same project?
Something akin to Gresham's Law applies here: money drives anything good out. Get the money out of Debian, before it becomes just an OpenSUSE look-alike/wannabe. Although I do really miss Debian Weekly News, I FULLY SUPPORT the decision of it's editor to STOP WORK on it, and admire him standing up for what is correct, something that seems to be missing recently in the Debian project. Final word: money isn't the answer to the problem, money IS the problem. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
