    It's been quite evident for a while that interest in Debian is declining, and it won't be around much longer. It's sad to see such a long-time player in the distribution field dwindle, but I guess it had to happen eventually. Good luck to everyone in their future pursuits.

    Not only do we kill the Linux Counter when it is only 7 years old, now we violate Progeny's remains by /.'ing its obituary. What's next? Misspelling the name of a major character from a classic work of fantasy in an online poll?

    Linux is dying. Software communism sucks.

    Time to upgrade to BSD.

    That they should have copied a decent distro.

    Everyone knows that debian users are ass pirates who just wanna bash Red Hat.

    This announcement has proven the real losers.
