Ok, ok, ok... I failed to write publicly, misunderstood that it was required in order to forward my email to the public list to have an answer, and wrongly thought that my questions were asked to the RT as I read "I've forwarded" which mislead me to believe no further action was to be done to have the discussion started. Well understood. I fully acknowledged the miscommunication issue at least twice in this thread already. I can even do it a 3rd time: mea culpa, mea culpa, mea maxima culpa... Can we move forward and discuss what should be done now, rather than discussing the past? Thomas -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-release-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
