Indeed. Debian's network of volunteer package maintainers is the envy of companies like RedHat and Mandrake, which is why they are trying to switch to the Debian model. In the end, though, they're just Debian Wannabees, and their corporate-centric governance model is doomed to fail. Bwa ha ha ha ha!

The Debian "Model"

Mandrake isn't trying to "switch to the Debian model". Mandrake has been put together by
volunteers in the Cooker project for quite a while. While they are putting together a
community with the Mandrake Club, packages created there are not included in the base
installation.
