In practice this should only be a problem if the FD check is causing DAM queue starvation. But then, if the DAM gets ahead of FD, there's no reason they couldn't step in and pull directly from the FD queue, right? The converse, giving FD the same powers of DAM, is an expansion of the powers of the FD members which I don't see justification for. If the DAM thought the FD members were ready to be DAM, they could just as well propose themselves that they should be added as DAM. I definitely *don't* agree that there's justification for automatically merging the FD into DAM. -- Steve Langasek Give me a lever long enough and a Free OS Debian Developer to set it on, and I can move the world.
