Yes, the fact that I'm Debian's founder may draw more attention to my opinions about Debian than to those of others.
Yes, you did found Debian and for this we all owe you a huge THANKS, plenty of respect and immense credibility. And we do. But please remember that you created Debian *free*, and thus you are not a "Debian-guru" in the Jobs sense and that your opinion, while carrying weight and authority, does not make you a decision-maker more than any other member of our community. We will listen to your opinion with utmost respect, but we might exercise the option to disagree with you - just as you wanted it when you created Debian.
The Debian you founded is now owned by the Debian community and only the delagates, the project leader, in the end, and a General Resolution have the final say.
