Your disagreement was based on previous ignorance of the availability and topic of the debian-project list. Since you now know, you ought to agree. >From the http://www.debian.org/MailingLists/subscribe page, accessible via the home page (edited only for formatting): ... debian-project Debian project related non-technical (i.e. political, organizational, etc.) discussions. Moderated: no Subscription: open ... debian-devel This is the main discussion list for development topics. All developers should be subscribed to this list. As it is open to the public anyone can join the discussion. Moderated: no Subscription: open ... debian-project is as open as debian-user, and anyone who wants to follow, and/or comment on, this issue ought to do so in debian-project. An announce- ment in debian-devel and debian-user should be sufficient. I'm interested in the debate (currently I'm anti-"get rid of non-free", but pro-"valid proposal: vote on it"), but I'd like debian-devel to stay free for development issues, and debian-user to stay free for the topic of using Debian.
