Nice fantasy. I used to be able to read C++ code, but that was long ago.
I think the real problem is that like a few other Linux communities (and

Mac OS X and Windows), Debian doesn't listen to users. And the decision

to replace a "known working product" with a "flaky experimental product"

makes me question their project management abilities, too.
A friend of mine doesn't run Sid, he runs the current Stable, and that

apparently doesn't include NV, either.
Reminds me the KDE4 fiasco: KDE stopped supporting KDE3 the moment

KDE4.0 shipped, but KDE4 didn't become ready for primetime until 4.5.
