The intent was not at all that clear. The content made it quite clear that under those rules many architectures could not ever be in any future stable release of Debian. No amount of work by the porting team could ever get the situation changed without active support of people who are either apithetic about the architecture or activly hostile to it. The proposal gives veto power over getting an architecture in Debian to dozens of people, and all they need do to exersize it is to not fix a non-release-critical bug. In addtion, the DSA, buildd, security, and release teams all have veto power. -- Blars Blarson [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.blars.org/blars.html With Microsoft, failure is not an option.
