You're missing my point. My concern is the stonewalling of the collective effort of those working to make backports a well-supported, user-friendly part of the Debian ecosystem. And all of in the name of a solved problem: email management. I just don't get it. Your campaign was effective against the useful package emails, and I don't really want to see that happen again. Let the collective do its work without interference. Please :) Best wishes, Mike -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
