A: Oh well, the reason is that Debian is almost what we want, and it seems better to be friends with Debian and try to convince them to change it a little, rather than say &ldquo;well, we are not going to use it; we are going to make our own thing.&rdquo; And also it seems likely to be more successful too because, after all, there are a lot of people working on Debian already. Why try to make an alternative to that large community. Much better to work with them and convince them to support our goals better &mdash; if it works, of course, and we have our ways to go on that.
