I've been wanting to ask this also.  I like some of the things I'm
hearing from the Debian camp, open discussion, testing, etc.  My main
concern with it is that the two people currently spearheading it, Ian
and Daniel, are both fairly new to the Linux scene and I don't yet
trust them to do the right thing.

Which leads nicely into my question.  Fred, how and when do you plan
to bring more people into the PRO camp?  I can think of several,
long-time, Linux contributors, whose opinions I value highly, that
would probably be willing to contribute.
