The 'free-ness' vote was the primary issue. Those are implementation details left to the maintainers. There was no direction given to them, so I would guess they did was what I have read that most maintainer do: focus on the 'free software' and put any non-free tasks second or lower. Although I think that your suggestion would have made things a little easier for the users. -- | .''`. == Debian GNU/Linux == | my web site: | | : :' : The Universal |mysite.verizon.net/kevin.mark/| | `. `' Operating System | go to counter.li.org and | | `- http://www.debian.org/ | be counted! #238656 | | my keyserver: subkeys.pgp.net | my NPO: cfsg.org | |join the new debian-community.org to help Debian! | |_______ Unless I ask to be CCd, assume I am subscribed _______| -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
