When the original programmers felt their program was mostly done and stepped away, others came in, a new breed, and diverted the trajectory of the projects.

Well engineered software projects eventually are completed. And then people shouting that anything not actively "maintained" is "depreciated" come in and attempt and succede in using software for political gain or control.

Most of the "Debian Developers" are not the same sort of people that started debian. They are often not programmers.

We who actually write software are looked down by them. The people who use software are looked down upon by them. They are now a middle man, using their position for control, rather than for helping. Like a bad government.

The Debian social contract even says the distro is for the sake of the users.
