Sorry, I don't understand the above sentence. Do you mean that it is impossible to come to a consensus when one maintainer of a relevant package disagrees? I can understand that claim, but it doesn't seem to be the same as the sentence above. > We have a constitution to *prevent* such decisions > being made by a tyranny of the majority of the minority. Thanks, that perhaps suggests a method for resolving this. Could you point to the section of the constitution you are referring to? > NMUs are *not* a tool for forcing a maintainer to accept a technical outcome > he disagrees with. Sure. To be clear, I should say that I am not advocating that anyone NMU the node or nodejs package. What I meant (and I could easily be wrong) is that when the maintainer of a package is not working on an important bug and has not given any reason, Debian does not need to be held hostage by that.
