[LI] Linux Inda and Debian

[Raj Mathur <raju@xxxxxxx>]

Y'know, the charge of splitting the community could be laid against me
too -- after all, I started the Linux-Delhi mailing list, which could
be perceived as driving a wedge between the Linux-India and the
Linux-Delhi users.  However, I've found that, Insh'allah, both lists
manage to co-exist pretty well, and some stuff which is purely local
to Delhi doesn't make it to the main list, while important stuff has a
habit of permeating list boundaries.  And most Linux-Delhi users (to
the best of my knowledge) are Linux-India users too.

Similarly, I don't expect that the creation of a Debian-only list will
harm any of our interests (note: I didn't say ego's ;-) .  If Debian
users feel more comfortable keeping their Debian-specific problems out
of Linux-India, why not?  They are more likely to get attention in a
Debian-only list, so I wish them vaya con Dios in their endeavour.  Of
course, it doesn't look like it's going to happen now, certain sid's
having cravenly withdrawn their proposals ;-), but it's likely to crop
up again.

Regards,
