Debian isn't a true democracy. We elect our leader, and thereafter the leader acts under his own accord. The recent leaders have generally taken a hands-off approach so you probably don't really notice they're even there. However, I believe some leaders before my time (Bruce Perens, for example), were much more active and took more advantage of their power. -- For every sprinkle I find, I shall kill you! -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
