  1. Politics... by BladeMelbourne · · Score: 5, Funny

    A wise man once said: If Debian spent less time encouraging politics and more time developing, packaging and testing, Debian stable would have more up2date software versions.

    I forgot who said it. Doesn't matter anyway.

    Hey, I got an idea! Maybe they should work out a system where Debian has three presidents, one elected per year for a three year term on a quasi-lazy Susan, stack-based basis.

    The newest president would be called Testing and everybody would go to him for real everyday issues. The second president (second year in office) would be called Unstable and he would work with the greybeards out in the field helping tham to keep their ancient computers running. Then, in the last year in office, the president would be called Stable and he (or she) appears on panels at universitys and trade shows and awards dinners.
