News Flash: big-name Debian contributor has negative commentary on twice-removed Debian fork.

Mint is popular, user-friendly, and it's growing. It has all the interoperability provided by being downstream of the widely-popular Ubuntu, without most of the hangups that come with being Debian. You can game on the same system that you use for office production and network maintenance or VM hosting. That's what people want out of a Linux desktop -- we tried it the other way for twenty five years, and haven't gotten anywhere.

How about instead of kicking the distro while it's down with a faux open letter that directly asserts the distribution is insecure while using your position of authority in the community to outright suggest people stop using it, you try actually addressing your complaints within the Mint community by fixing or at least vocalizing what you see as "wrong?" It would be a helluvalot more productive, and everyone knows you have the time and skill to do it.
