point 3 in that decision then talks about "objective, measurable, technical conditions that a rejected package must meet in order to enter the archive," No mention of legal (or, if relevant, moral) conditions. I suspect the rejection of the package in question would not be on technical grounds that would involve tech-ctte either. Also, please don't take my email as a criticism of the FTP team or a lack of faith in the team's ability to make a sensible decision - I am just suggesting that it may be helpful to have a policy written down for dealing with these things so everybody feels that it meets the goals of transparency. Whether that policy comes from the FTP team or from the project as a whole is another question. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-project-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
