Debian proposes dropping most architectures
I remember suggesting something similiar to this proposal a few years back and got toasted, so I dumped Debian (after many years of use that was a hard one to do) and move to Gentoo (on workstations) and Slack (on servers).
Debian needs to address the way it approaches architectures and I think this, if it ever gets accepted, is the way forward to ensure Debian doesn't get it the mess its current release cycle is in.
But I fear this will not happen. Debian seems to have become a political distribution with absolutely rabid approach to licensing. Some like this, I can see the point, but there comes a time when you are just harming yourself. I fear that the Ech release (i.e. the one after Sarge) will still take years to arrive, but by that time I think alot of current Debian users will have had enough.
I was hoping that maybe I would looked at Sarge when it was released, but I can't see that happening now.
