if you want to start the conversation of migrating away from pristine-tar, submit a proposal, get consensus and drive the migration to a different solution, please do so at any time. but until the time when the team decides that pristine-tar (which has been working fine for our 1400+ packages so far) is to be replaced by a different product, i dont think it's appropriate to unilaterally decide to use a different solution. Team members are required, when joining, to accept the policy. and team membership is about consistency and easy of work. i was not able to update python-xlib because you decided to use a different process than the rest of us. this is not team work.
