Well, what do you expect after the way my implication in the non-free GR last year was duly sabotaged by both Steve Langasek and Manoj ? The position of the kernel team had always more or less been after the disaster of that GR, which the RMs said before the result of the vote they would not respect, to ship the kernel as is upstream, and don't bother anymore to be implicated in the non-free firmware stuff, since we got nil support from the rest of debian about it, outright sabotage, and on top of that, i was blamed for my active participation in that disaster, having to juggle between people like nerode, and people like maks who threatened to leave the kernel team and debian if those firmwares where removed. So, this comes as no surprise to me, and one more reason why you should not have expulsed me, but rather should have given me more support in the work i tried to do for debian.
