I am not going to write things that I disagree with; whoever sends out the release announcement can add those things and make sure my name is not associated with them or part of this "we".

When I accepted the release team's "invitation" to help I thought I made it pretty clear that I wasn't willing to do everything your way.

Technically it was only the IPv6 and LFS bugs. I think that raising goal bugs to 'serious' is the right thing to do. I do not think the reasons that you and Gerfried have for opposing this are very compelling. However, I see no reason to fight about this; if no one cares about those release goals, obviously they will not be achieved. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-release-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
