This is a Debian and Red Hat territory grab. They are trying to steer Linux into something they alone control.

Debian doesn't have a corporate owner like Ubuntu(Canonical) or Redhat.
Also Debian is 1 year younger than Slackware.
With it being the 2nd oldest used distro It's bound to have a foot hold in the pacakge format game.
