30 years of Ian being reminded that it was a dumb idea to name his biggest project ever after his then-not-yet ex-wife Debra.
(Ok, they've only been divorced for 15 of these 30 years)

Ian passed away in December 2015, so not even that long.

Fair point. Yeah his last few years haven't been exactly glorious.

I remember installing a very very early release of Debian back in the mid 90s on a 486. I have had a Debian system of some sort ever since then.

The packages in Debian stable are also about 30 years old.

Glad they mentioned the mode lines. Debian used to give a very scary warning about mode lines destroying your monitor that no other distro even thought to tell you about. Auto configuration of the X server was truly a technological marvel.
