Read the description at Debian.org. I don't get my ideas about why it is there from hearsay. I didn't know about it until you mentioned it. I looked for it today and report what I found. > Seriously, you would expect people that don't post regularly to > subscribe to a whitelist - Dream on. How would they even know it exists? I don't have any expectation or knowledge about how it is actually used. I do think that somebody more central to the Debian community than I, did have the expectation that is stated on the web site. I remember when software market gurus believed that open or free software was a crazy idea that never would be useful. Maybe it is still not useful for some people, but I don't think that view is held by many of the people who frequent this list. Part of Debian is an avowed goal of Changing the World. Straightforward statements of this can also be found on Debian.org IMHO, you are mistaken in your assessment of the internal workings of Debian, and it colors the advice that you give. My paraphrase of what is said was only for the purpose of informing of what I had found. I hope you and others will find it, read it, and try to understand where it fits in the Debian scheme of things.
