Wikipedia gets competition from co-founder

Where would Debian be today it it were not for Ubuntu? More competition
motivates improvement. Some projects replaced the Debian codebase with
Ubuntu. Similar situration as a matter of fact...

Debian at the crossroads

| So, while there are areas which need a bit of a kick in the pants -
| which, perhaps, as Murdock outlines, a benevolent dictator may be
| better placed to do than a leader who functions as a true democrat
| - there are many areas of Debian which should not change else the
| project would lose its character. The temptation to chase behind
| commercial shadows is indeed great but in the end, Debian is
| unique among Linux distributions and too much of change would
| hurt the project rather than help it progress.
