What does that mean? Because if it means that this list is going to
endlessly rant about differing views of freedom, the religious meaning
of debian, et al.... then this will not the venue to get such a project
off the ground.

ALSO if this list is to driven to create an 'agnostic' init
distributionm that can be swapped out freely, that is problably not even
technically feasable and is a a waste of time. There are a truckload of
issues just between BSD type init system to SySV to whatever is being
passed for that in todays distros. Package mainmence becomes very
difficult.


If the list is to focus on a supported distribution that doesn't include
systemd, and purhaps removing much of the surrounding ecosystem, THAT,
in of itself is a huge undertaking that is likely doable.

If the romantasism is overwhelming progress and we end up stuffed with
conspiracy theories, then this list will not be a venue for the needed
change.
