"We will be guided by the needs of our users and the free-software community. We will place their interests first in our priorities. We will support the needs of our users for operation in many different kinds of computing environment." Nowhere in the Social Contract do I see the following caviat: "But #4 is negotiable, because after all, we are volunteers." If placing our users' interests first is one of the 5 commitments we agree to when we become Debian Developers, then what excuse is there for not mandating debconf? -John Daily [EMAIL PROTECTED]
