Can I take as a final decision and update the wiki pages?
Apart from what I think about album version information, I really don't like
the form of how this went.
The discussion was open for three days, then a veto was requested inside a mail.
Then the decision was made within 34 hours.
Then the change was announced on a wiki page only that only a few people
following the most recent discussions on this mailing list even noticed so far.
This is all very suboptimal in my eyes. I didn't plan to step into this
discussion but other people perhaps did. Given that there was much traffic on
the mailing list at that time (because of the net releases for one), there was
rather a lot to read so I think people needed some more time to get into it.
But three days from the first mail to the veto isn't enough.
The new form of requesting vetos Don suggested and used here isn't obvious enough I
think. I'd still like to have topic changes ("RFV: (album version)") for that.
And just the mention of ruaok to use his position as "evil overlord" to decide
on this should be no reason to shorten the veto period drastically.
Finally this is a change with a rather big impact on the data and therefore
needs to be announced on the mailing list. The new wiki page is nice as a log
of changes but it doesn't catch everyone's attention - especially since it's a
very new page.
As a side note this is the second time I notice a decision many people are
interested in to be made so fast. I think only because many people consider
this to be important and want this to be changed as soon as possible, we should
not forget about our formalities.
Thanks for listening,
Simon
