i know dumb question to throw out

is it the people listed?  how'd they get in control?  is it all on 
up and up?  or are some suspicious?

i hope some day to use it but the water looks cold ...

in debian the KEY HOLDERS (maintainers) control it and there is some 
heat on whether they have who's interest in mind.  maintainers say 
hog wash users must like systemd, ssh, hard installs, etc :)

i know the reagents of CA used to control BSD, apple has a branch of 
that

i see allot of foreigners hacking it (nervously) and wonder who 
actaully, if anyone, checks to see if these hacks are not engineered 
attempts to cause usa / ca / bsd to fail (implode due to tech 
failures / unhappy users)

maybe an annoying discussion

thanks for reading the question / having the post up
