Version 1 syndrome? It is easy to fork Debian, create some newer packages, and/or run a more lack view of copyright or freedom, and have a distro. It is slightly more work to maintain it, and no where near as much fun. So most distros end up trailing behind the Debian they forked from. Debian tried to help that with PureBlends, not sure how successful it was. Maybe if Debian had a release which would adopt stuff quicker people might be more motivated to contribute there, but it is a role mostly fulfilled by "testing" . Perhaps if we renamed "testing" as "exciting" people would use it more, and worry less that they don't understand the name, and it wouldn't be any worse than Arch by the sounds of it. |
