Yes, I agree with that part and I think I objected to that at the time. Nonetheless, one bad decision doesn't mean that it is Debian policy that we don't care about derivatives or their users. I think we made a mistake there which is not in alignment with our ideals or our goals. We should try to reverse that mistake, not double down on it. -- Russ Allbery (r...@debian.org) <https://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/>
