> control and lockin.

That's a pretty absurd claim. Is there anything to back it up?

I mean, releasing an open source operating system doesn't seem to be the epitome of "control and lock in" to me. Ubuntu probably wouldn't exist if Debian were any good at "control and lock in", for one.

Also, your "bug report" is quite different than the one Zed points out. You're suggesting a fundamental change to the way rubygems works on Debian. That's something that merits further discussion, rather than a simple "bug report", obviously.

Excuse me, but I tried to direct you back to the original premise. Now it's an absurd claim? Did you read the article? It's not even my claim. And yes, if you read http://twitter.com/zedshaw you will see that the bug I posted is one that Zed references.

By the way, your "post" is quite the "epitome" of total "air quotery".

Yes, that "It's simply a tactic to make sure that you are stuck on Debian." was, and is, an absurd claim without a shred of support.

He also says that "it is sadly pure business and has nothing to do with open source, quality, or culture." which is pretty odd, given that Debian is a non-profit, voluntary organization.
