When did the Free Software Community come to mean Debian users?
When did 'needs' come to mean 'wants'?
Debian Social Contract (1997)
-----------------------------
We will support people who create or use both free and non-free works on Debian.
We will be guided by the needs of our users and the free software community.
Debian Social Contract (2016)
-----------------------------
We will support people who use Debian.
We will be guided by the wants of our users.
When a creator that has been part of the free software community for decades
makes a polite request we will tell them that they "obviously haven't understood
how distributions work and what stable releases are" (i.e. that they need to
conform to our way of doing things).
We will then change their code against their wishes and call them "ignorant",
"stubborn", "crazy" and a "dick."
We will focus on the distribution _we_ want to use, not on the broader free
software community.
P.S. Our petty wants are more important than upstream's needs.
