You're right. There's no way at all to inform someone of a change in policy besides filing a bug and letting things sit in the tree for days, months, or even years before they get fixed. Personally, I'd prefer we fix the stuff and simply inform the maintainers, rather than force them to have to do the work as some form of punishment for not following policy close enough. ;] -- Chris Gianelloni Release Engineering Strategic Lead Alpha/AMD64/x86 Architecture Teams Games Developer/Council Member/Foundation Trustee Gentoo Foundation
