Hi.
There seems to be a significant conflict within the TC about what the L options mean. Speaking as a maintainer who could be affected by this and as someone who would sponsor a GR to override one interpretation butnot another, I'd request that the TC clarify what it means with the next ballot options. * Colin said that it would be OK to depend on a stable interface such as logind-208 provided that multiple implementations could exist. * Ian said that this dependency would not be OK. I'd like the ballot options to clarify: 1) Whether these interface dependencies are acceptable 2) Whether they are acceptable in cases where there is only one implementation. I'd request the TC consider the following question although I'm not sure going into this level of detail on the ballot is appropriate: 3) If we are using virtual packages to define interfaces, what should the dependency look like? Would you want a raw virtual dependency such as gnome-shell depends on logind-208? If so, isn't that kind of not how we currently recommend things? Or a concrete dependency like systemd|logind-208? If so, please make sure that if such interface dependencies are permitted your policy text actually permits the dependency.
