This is a completely wrong understanding. In your example, the TC is able to determine the content of policy as well as to ask for particular fixes to packages, and if the TC thinks that policy is wrong or inapplicable or whatever it will decide what it thinks is best. Debian does not have the separation of powers you describe. Ian. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
