I agree, and I'm a bit concerned that everybody seems to think that it's a good idea to increasing the number of required seconds, while I really think that it's a terrible idea. Could you propose an amendement that explicitely says that the current rules don't need to be changed (different from FD), and another one that proposes a compromise by requiring 8 or 10 seconders? -- | Lucas Nussbaum | lu...@lucas-nussbaum.net http://www.lucas-nussbaum.net/ | | jabber: lu...@nussbaum.fr GPG: 1024D/023B3F4F | -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
