16.2. Futuro di Debian

In addition to these internal developments, one can reasonably expect new Debian-based distributions to come to light, as many tools keep simplifying this task. New specialized subprojects will also be started, in order to widen Debian's reach to new horizons.
La comunità degli utenti Debian aumenterà e nuovi collaboratori si uniranno al progetto... compreso, forse, anche te!
There are recurring discussions about how the software ecosystem is evolving, towards applications shipped within containers, where Debian packages have no added value, or with language-specific package managers (e.g. pip for Python, npm for JavaScript, etc.), which are rendering dpkg and apt obsolete. Facing those threats, I am convinced that Debian developers will find ways to embrace those evolutions and to continue to provide value to users.
Nonostante la sua età e le sue dimensioni considerevoli, Debian continua a crescere in tutte le (a volte inaspettate) direzioni. Collaboratori brulicano di idee, e le discussioni nelle mailing list di sviluppo, anche quando sembrano litigi, aumentano il progresso. Debian a volte è paragonata ad un buco nero, di tale densità che attrae ogni nuovo progetto di software libero.
Beyond the apparent satisfaction of most Debian users, a deep trend is becoming more and more indisputable: people are increasingly realizing that collaborating, rather than working alone in their corner, leads to better results for everyone. Such is the rationale used by distributions merging into Debian by way of subprojects.
Il progetto Debian non è quindi a rischio di estinzione…
