Who is doing what? Who is deciding what? The FSF won't officially base anything on Debian, because we don't endorse Debian. See http://gnu.org/distros/common-distros.html for the reason we don't. > the officialness of Emacs running in a container should be > transitively determined by where its sources came from.

The container would contain other programs besides Emacs, and our ethical concerns apply to them too. -- Dr Richard Stallman President, Free Software Foundation (gnu.org, fsf.org) Internet Hall-of-Famer (internethalloffame.org) Skype: No way!
