I think we could be doing a lot better on all the points that Clint mentioned, and I don't think term limits will fix any of those things. For me, term limits are a specific change to do a specific thing that I think would be an improvement: involve more project members in the Technical Committee. Obviously, if one's opinion of the Technical Committee is that it's a good way to cordon off the people who waste everyone else's time and make them all waste each other's time (an attempted summary of what I believe to be Clint's basic opinion about the TC), one is not going to agree with the goal of involving more people in that process. If I were going to try to meaningfully tackle more of the issues that Clint mentions, I would do something quite a bit more radical, but I'm not sure there's really much project enthusiasm for doing that, so I'm not sure there's a lot of point in talking about it. (The shape is probably predictable to anyone who knows me and knows how much I dislike the concept of meritocracy.) -- Russ Allbery (r...@debian.org) <http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-project-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
