Roland, I don't think you have to feel belittled. I don't think it was 
intended as an attack on you, but rather a bunch of flattery aimed at 
me. It's possible that Steve was not aware of your efforts, or is not a 
debian user.

There has been a lot of work that went into Debian-SF in the past 1-2 
years, including a lot of very useful internationalization. But I don't 
agree that "significant" changes have been made, in terms of new features.

Significant changes, such as a new task/project manager, are yet to 
come, and I think it's important that we roll those changes into as many 
of the different forks that are out there as possible.
