   * We want a working, stable operating-system. Most designed for minimalism and oriented on the [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unix_philosophy|Unix philosophy]], working always on democratic principles and inclusion for a colorful way of usage.   * We want a working, stable operating-system.

   * We decline unstable software not releasing any stable sources and therefore we also decline to include more packages just for having them. All packages need maintenance afterwards and just to implement something half-way without a safe future working is never acceptable for us, may it be a service, driver, interface, library or any kind of application.   * We decline unstable software not releasing any stable sources and therefore we also decline to include more packages just for having them.

 +Most important we also have no interest in always stating what we "dislike" instead of doing what we really like: This is community-oriented, free and libre software itself. We want to build, offer and use an operating-system dedicated to user-freedom. Sure, we also criticize direct or indirect development in general and detail, but we do not want to end in cynicism and hatred. With this repeating also fallacies and copy them, instead of doing a complete different paradigm.

 Yes, guidance is always an important concept for us. But this only works out positive when both sides are really engaged. So for sure we want to guide, support and offer mentorship. But when we see that the person awaits full-time support, meaning to get only said everything and repeat without learning and questioning, this concept is breaking immediately. At that point we stop the mentorship also and won't go on with it in the current case. Yes, guidance is always an important concept for us.

 +We think that it is not too much to bother and experiment individual with the own system, developing, changing and surely also experiencing problems. If there is no interest to do exactly this, there is also no real interest within Hyperbola as a system from our point of view.

 +===== What about inclusion of binary packages? =====
 +
 +We reject any binary-only packaging. That means we will never accept packages offered only in binary form or based on binary releases done. Hyperbola was, is and will always be a source-based operating-system.
