I wonder if this will be just one in a wave of derivative distros rebasing from Ubuntu to Debian? I think doing so has been in the cards as a distinct future possibility for many of them, most overtly so with Mint's LMDE variant - even if it's ostensibly just an alternative, I think it's clear to everyone that it's always been about making sure they have a viable, working alternative, for the day when an Ubuntu base is no longer tenable.

Is anyone aware of whether there have been other distros rebasing from Ubuntu to Debian lately?

    Not that I know of.

    Kind of wish Zorin did the same.

    But there needs to be some kind of in between, between testing and stable.

    Edit: Ubuntu was the in between. They had packages that were slightly more recent.

    It's a lot of work though to do all the testing.
