Uh, can we have something more descriptive than just "the current release policy", and avoid dictating mechanism ("sarge-ignore") rather than just policy? Also, some issues that would have been ignored before GR 2004-003 might not have been related to these concerns, and may not need to be ignored now. Points to consider: * what stuff must and needn't comply with the DFSG, according to the reverted social contract ("Debian will be 100% free software") -- docs, firmware, data files for games, rfcs, ...? * what stuff must and needn't comply with the DFSG when the SC is re-amended after sarge is release -- woody updates? sarge updates? stuff in the new testing? new uploads? Note that there isn't really a "current release policy" on this issue -- the policy before the original GR was clear, the policy since then has been ambiguous at best, and more closely approximated non-existant.
