I have already suggested a wording change that I would be happy to review and that I think would be much more likely to accomplish your goals. Document the other way of doing things that you would like Policy to mention. It doesn't have to be long; in many cases, one paragraph with some man page references would be sufficient to get people pointed in the right direction. In an ideal world, I think people *should* prefer to do things in one of the ways that Policy documents doing them, even if other ways of doing them would be acceptable. That's how we get a more consistent distribution. This requires documenting our preferences, which seems like a good thing all around. -- Russ Allbery (r...@debian.org) <https://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/>
