Well, the views of people (or even Debian developers (or even the DPL)) 
on this list don't necessarily reflect the views of the entire project. 
But I for one can tell you that I value the work that Arch, Alpine, Red 
Hat, Ubuntu, etc does, and hope that the positive relationship and areas 
where we can contribute together (examples: lts kernels, reproducible 
builds, that kind of stuff) continues to happen and expand so that there 
are more areas we can work on together and duplicate less work.

As for the future of Debian, I consider it a very young project, some 
people consider it old because it's one of the distros that's been 
around along time, but we're still going through teething problems, and 
so is the software industry as a whole, if you'd compare us to the motor 
industry, I think we're just about transitioning out of the Model T Ford 
era right now, the future of software is exciting and I think the pace 
of development is going to increase to the point where in a few years, 
we could easily clump together the computers we have today along with 
the ones from the 90's.

As for Debian, I think we're either going to figure out how to adapt and 
move faster, and play a bigger role in the world of software, or another 
Debian is going to come along with similar values that's more organised 
and does it instead.
