Um, sort of? The council exists mainly to make cross-project decisions. I suppose that this issue counts, since it involves both the baselayout folks and the GDP, but the GDP doesn't really care which logger is installed by virtual/logger, as long as they know when it changes. As such, I would say that it's up to the package maintainers (base-system) to make that decision. Oh, I suppose that if base-system were to choose poorly, and large numbers of devs were upset, then the council would get involved, but this issue just doesn't seem that contentious. I've heard lots of people state that they would rather have logger "foo" as the default, but those same people will just shrug and install their favorite if foo isn't chosen. It's just not that big a deal. If the council chooses to address this issue I'm hardly going to complain, but I don't really think that it's worth their time. -g2boojum- -- Grant Goodyear Gentoo Developer [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.gentoo.org/~g2boojum GPG Fingerprint: D706 9802 1663 DEF5 81B0 9573 A6DC 7152 E0F6 5B76
