From now on this might as well be Debian as they've adopted the most libertarian rule about LLMs you could vote for. (Basically "do whatever the fuck you want on our code"). Which immediately caused core maintainers with a spine to quit on the spot.

Seemed related to the meme given Debian is the base for a majority of user-friendly distros you'd give to former Windows user.

Interestingly the whole vote was pretty rigged, as a total ban would've required a 3:1 supermajority while the new rule only required a simple majority. And since AI bros piled on that one while everyone else scattered across the other options…

Future codebases gonna be a disaster, almost no one will actually know all of the code anymore.

    I don't want to bring up old wounds - but it was the same with the init system vote - it was set up in a way that only systemd could possibly win.

    AI was the goal from the outset, the voting was just theatre.
