I think that the problem here is users who are too arrogant.
It's simply not your decision what unpaid developers do with their time. We develop the software and you can use it if you like it.
Being a Debian developer is a volunteer exercise, one of many in todays society. No one holds a gun to our heads (I have been an office bearer in a fire brigade for years as well a working as a volunteer in a number of other enterprises) we do such work because we like to and such work brings other benefits.
I can't think of any way to reasonbly equate "justice" to "non-contributors getting to give orders to people who do the work".
Linux is developed by more people than just Debian Developers, I regularly submit well researched bug fixes to various projects, including the kernels framebuffer code (one of linux's more difficult areas to work in). Very much time is spent on making sure these are well valued contributions. DD's are not the only ones spending time in Linux code................. You may in future wish to get some evidence before being judge, jury and excutioner, and you call me arrogent........!!!! This is getting me no where, I am not surprised systemd is getting plenty of opposition as most of its proponents appear now to be incapable of giving a clear explanation of why they support it. I have better things to do with my development time than try and figure out a project with apparently no clear goals (as so far none has been given). Lindsay
