This becomes especially ridiculous when one considers that certain
people/parties/cabals inside Debian, which some of the people involved
this time may or may not belong to, deny other then-developers the
ability to want a particular piece of software, instead of that one
they wanted.
Why is it that some people can declare other peoples’ work “not
official” and thus less worth than their own, while that work is
still used with official releases?
Right. Debian, as a social ecosystem, isn’t a welcoming place any more.
I just am surprised that not more people leave it.
