How things have shifted I don't know, Please let's stop throwing undefined buzzwords around. That doesn't get us anywhere. It's completely unimportant if Debian "is a democracy" (or a republic) or not. There are lots of those around, and no two are similar. Let's talk concrete procedures, if we want to talk about this at all (and frankly, I'd think the constitution has seen enough discussion). Stop throwing all those straw men around, please. It's completely pointless. MfG Kai -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
