After 13 years the Debian-Administration website will go read-only at the end of the month. Then later in the year it will transform it into a solely static-site so that the articles, weblogs, and associated comments are not lost - and they can be served via single server or two. Mostly this is happening due to lack of new content being added and folks posting more elsewhere.

  The way systemd was pounded through Debian was demoralizing and insulting to the large user base. Then on top of that the damage that systemd has done to systemd administration has hurt. So between the two effects the air was really let out of the project's tires.

  There is also much less emphasis on code and code quality and more emphasis on which coders are gayer and the code (and people) are promoted based on their gayness rather than how well the code works. But that's not a problem unique to Debian at all.

  If it weren't for systemd, there wouldn't be such a thing as systemd administration!
