My feeling is that *this* piece is looking uncontroversial - we don't need to block on a GR for this. I'm going to continue to push for a GR to make the *downstream* decision, i.e. what to do with our images. As a side issue: I know that pabs is keen on the idea of having things appear in both non-free *and* non-free-firmware, but I'm not so convinced. How much pain is that likely to cause for ftpmaster and dak? I know that debian-cd will need updates to cope with that, and I suspect quite a lot of other software may as well. -- Steve McIntyre, Cambridge, UK. st...@einval.com “Changing random stuff until your program works is bad coding practice, but if you do it fast enough it’s Machine Learning.” -- https://twitter.com/manisha72617183
