Can anyone say with a straight face that there is anything wrong with Debian's vision or principles merely existing somewhere in the world?
Ok, so they exist somewhere in the world, in Debian.
And it predates you. Debian didn't come along and fuck up your life. There is no basis for any kind of "take it back" idea to "fix" Debian.
If you don't subscribe to those principles, great news! The entire rest of the world agrees with you! Go use Ubuntu or Mint or really anything.
If your argument is that Debian is an important base for countless users of other distros, and so it's inconsiderate or irresponsible or something not to serve all those indirect users better (according to your personal definition of "better"), well then why ARE so many other distros choosing Debian's shoulders to stand on if it's so unhelpful? All those other distros are perfectly free to provide their own base the "right" way.
You in fact are free yourself to launch a new better os to replace Debian. Go ahead. No one is stopping you. Show those backwards clods how it's done by practical people with their heads screwed on straight.
