The release team are volunteers, working hard and trying to do the best thing for Debian as a whole. Insinuations of unfairness and personal attacks are hardly likely to motivate them to continue to donate their free time, are they? >I find that unnecessarily humiliating and will probably not do this >and rather live without my package in stable for this release. Or, you know, you could just ensure that your packages are working well and this doesn't come up? FTAOD: I thank the release team for their tireless work on making each Debian release better than the last. We keep on adding more and more software and making things harder and harder to stabilise and release, and I 100% support their efforts to improve the process of releasing Debian. I hope that the vast majority of Debian contributors think the same. -- Steve McIntyre, Cambridge, UK. st...@einval.com Armed with "Valor": "Centurion" represents quality of Discipline, Honor, Integrity and Loyalty.
