A lot of people are already paid full-time to work on Debian. Wouldn't it be better to additionally have some other people be paid full-time to work on Debian under a democratic mandate (our voting system) rather than under corporate orders? At the very least, it would be a good social experiment to gain insight from - something like that hasn't not been done much in the world before.
