Congratulations. The return of Firefox branding makes me feel nostalgic. I remember using Firefox 1.04 on Debian in the early 00's. This was in the golden age of Firefox, when every new release was an improvement and it was a lean non-bloated alternative to other browsers.

In the past Debian was considered to be one of the most stable Linux distributions available. Stability and quality was a priority above anything else. However, around 2014 something changed when systemd was forced into Debian in a way that would never have happened before the new generation of developers took over the project.

Maybe this is just something we have to get used to, young developers seems to value ease above quality and stability, this also explains the current flood of Electron apps.

Half of the technical committee chose systemd. None of them are new comers. The casting vote in favor of systemd was done by Bdale who is a Debian developer since the very beginning.

systemd was just a symptom. Multiple developers that had been working on Debian for many years, left the project in that period for various of reasons.
