"Constructive interaction" can be interpreted arbitrarily. IMO, usability should take priority. Particularly when maintainers don't use Debian (as their primary system), it's natural to expect that they will listen to those who do. Listening doesn't mean arguing with them that what they need is against this or that principle. Such arguments remind me of Gnome devs' infamous attitude, which I hope won't enter Debian. > ... getting Debian to move in a particular direction (or > contain a particular package) involves motivating people to do it (with > people possibly including oneself).
