I think that was a disgraceful insult. Please retract it. I've seen one suggestion that Sven Luther's handling of his personal life events is inappropriate. Now, the DPL suggests that Sven Luther is abnormal. Throwing oneself into other work seems a fairly common reaction to personal stresses. If there were a norm for this, that reaction would be the normal one! Of course, there is no such norm: there are many valid reactions. Anyway, individual developers may make any non-technical decision about their work - which surely includes how much to work after personal life events. There are different views among DDs on such events: see last August. It is ridiculous to make general claims about normal or appropriate behaviour after them. Just think, how would the "take a break to mourn" DDs react to being told they're silly, weird, or inhuman? Where the actions of an individual cause problems, others should take Specific, Measured, Appropriate, Realistic, Time-limited (SMART) measures to deal with those problems and fix the bugs. Removing commit access because of poor discussions doesn't seem appropriate, so it's not a SMART move. Also, it wasn't realistic to expect it to end the poor discussions: it gives Sven Luther more time and motive for them. It seems a troll and Sven Luther willingly answered it. I am in disbelief that the DPL called it reasonable and is not mediating. Several posters seem happy that svenl has the technical ability. Please re-grant commit access and use a measured discussion ban. Be a SMART DPL. -- MJR/slef Laux nur mia opinio: vidu http://people.debian.org/~mjr/ Bv sekvu http://www.uk.debian.org/MailingLists/#codeofconduct -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
