And yet they destabilized things by adding the deprecation/trying to get rid of it. And what even was the point of that?

They<the package maintainer> ≠ They<the committee>

They also mentioned how this could happen at the end of the article.

In the end they are working on a distro with certain ideals and this illustrates how they can achieve things with their ideals in mind.

Only in unstable

They destabilize it less than other packaging ecosystems.

I tried Manjaro the other day -- out of the box, wake from sleep was broken, bluetooth was broken, and 3/3 printers were broken. I eventually got sleep working with an older kernel version, I got bluetooth working with config file hacking, and I got the printers working with CUPS wrangling -- but on Ubuntu, all of this Just Worked for me.

That's the point of it.

I don't see how deprecating "which" helps any of that, or any stability in general.

On Debian "unstable".
