Debian 8 "Jessie" was released on 25 Apr. A link to the Debian release page shows the changes and you can follow the release in 'real-time' should you desire to do so.
This release will be supported for 5 years and includes "improvements" to the UEFI software (both 32- and 64-bit) introduced in the previous version, "Wheezy". It also is the first release to use systemd as default init system replacing the earlier sysvinit, which is still available in the repos should you wish to revert the change. What effects such a change might have on the remainder of the system is not clear. Improvements to the support of Debian software include the ability to browse and search all source code distributed in the latest release.

What's wrong with writing your own kernel from scratch?
I've forked various projects.
Xonotic and before then Crossfire RPG.
It isn't impossible, and when it's a game it's alot of fun.
What I don't do is allow people to destroy the building I'm existing in and then not complain when I am forced to rebuild it again and again and again and again.
What one relys on shouldn't be stolen from him.

The difference is that you can keep the original building provided you put it in a new location. And all builders can be poached to develop at your new location. Seems only inertia and emotional attachment keeps people at the original site.

The original site has a sound foundation.
A mob comes and blows it up.
Then has those who resided in the building banned from the town.
The building residents should kill the mob, but they don't or cant.
They lost what they had.
The mob won.

So drop the rule book and exterminate the mob rough style?

That would be the only option other than defeat.
