Hi Richard,

Some of us have already been using Debian "in production" for
multiple decades. However "in production" means different things to
different people, since Debian is used in a wide variety of
contexts.

If you see areas that need improvement and you have ideas about
that, you need to submit suggestions as bugs in the Debian bug
tracker where the maintainers of the package can see them. Your
suggestions may also be more appropriate for the upstream developers
not the Debian maintainers (if your issue isn't particular to
Debian, for example).

What isn't effective is what you've done here: posted a vague
comment to a user-level support forum. We don't know what you are
talking about and even if we did, we don't generally have any more
ability to make change in the software than you do. This place is
for assisting people with how to use Debian and the software on it.

Having said that, your previous messages such as the "rsync is
broken … oh no it's not, I just didn't understand how to use it" do
suggest that possibly you might want to first frame your suggestions
for improvement as specific questions to a support forum along the
lines of "can software X do this? Am I doing it wrong?" before you
go down the route of assuming you have encountered an actual
deficiency.

Thanks,
Andy
