Sad times10 February 2014 21:50 There are times when I'm very proud of the Debian project, the developers, the contributors, the bug-reporters, even the users. There are times when I'm less impressed. These days I guess I'm not qualified to comment, being an ex-developer, but I still am disappointed. Part of me wants to rejoin the project, to see if I can help. The other part is thinking there are other choices, maybe I should look at them. Conflict is bad. Being conflicted is worse.

Largely, yes.
Steve, I hear you. One of the great things about this project is how vast it is. Jump in on another front. I, for one, would miss your keen intellect and DIY attitude. Keith
These bits of data from Debian Contributors may help: https://lists.debian.org/debian-project/2014/02/msg00059.html With partial data, contributors.d.o lists 649 active contributors since october, and only 77 of them are flaming away on the init system bug.
Debian need people like you. I hope init war will not destroy the Debian world. I hope Debian blends will create Debian with the not chosen alternative init. I can remember your work in xen-tools. I would like to give you a big thanks for that work (and other Debian related work)! If you decide abandond Debian, good luck !
Don't be sad, Steve. It's normal for things to change. I'm sure even you will find nice, pleasant things to do with systemd. |

Are you talking 'bout the "init wars"? I'm a bit lost.
