Sam, from this thread, it seems very likely[1] that you were right about where Debian's consensus was, and that I was wrong. > He proposed the following text for such a GR. Also Enrico Zini sent a couple of messages where he strongly objected to this escalation by me. IME Enrico Zini is usually right. I should have listened to him more carefully the first time. For my own part, I'm going to drop this suggestion now. I still don't agree with the apparent project consensus but I want to spend my energy on something more constructive. Ian. [1] Even allowing for the fact that mailing list threads are not a very reliable way to judge the project's overall views. -- Ian Jackson <ijack...@chiark.greenend.org.uk> These opinions are my own. If I emailed you from an address @fyvzl.net or @evade.org.uk, that is a private address which bypasses my fierce spamfilter.
