This particular branch of the discussion doesn't seem particularly helpful, no, and I hadn't planned to continue it further. I do think NM serves as a useful cautionary tale here, to the extent that both it and systemd/logind represent ongoing sources of costly divergence for GNOME packaging, and I think folks who just see the original tech-ctte decision there may be under the mistaken impression that that work was over and done with with just a change to package metadata. However, I don't think this branch of the discussion in particular is relevant to that point, and I'm happy to drop it. - Josh Triplett -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-ctte-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
