First of all why do I need to come up with a concrete proposal to FESCO 
why dont they come up with something to try to improve the distribution.

Does that governing body only exist to say yay or nay to others proposals?

Secondly the only reason I don't maintain packages within the 
distribution is because I'm fully aware that I dont have time in doing so.

So instead of me working under the illusion that I can resulting in me 
half ass maintaining stuff at best I rather choose not, to cause I know 
for a fact that nobody gains anything from it infact I would just be 
signing up to become the part of the problem not the solution if I did.

And I'm already fully aware of the other side given that I receive every 
bug filed at systemd and I also can tell you that of each of ca 8 of 10 
bugs filed there the reporter should be filing against relevant 
component containing their unit files as opposed to systemd itself. ( 
Apparently if anything fails at bootup it's systemd's fault )

I am giving what I can when I can, to contribute the distribution and my 
actions there speak well enough for themselves and will continue to do so.

My first and foremost priority is to get the migration process over 
with.....
