as russ wrote some weeks ago in an excellent
mail to debian-vote, upstreams are the raison d'être for
linux distributions. my experience in collaborating with upstream authors is
mostly very positive, the most recent example from today being #728345. – thanks to all
upstream authors for their passion in writing software & sharing it.
& for caring about it later as well!
this posting is part of GDAC (gregoa's debian advent calendar), a project to show the bright side of debian & why it's fun for me to contribute.
