Good point. Allow me to expand: Along with vendors, behavior also
matters with friends, associates, communities I'm in or deal with, and
people I deal with. I don't interact with or accept any kind of benefits
from those I don't trust.

It could possibly have been said that "Debian is in part Steve Litt" in
early 2014. After that, absolutely not, to the extent that I renounce
the botched double-backslash VimOutliner package that Debian ships with
(or did). It might be said that Void is a tiny bit me. Or that Devuan
is a tiny bit me. Debian, not anymore.
