Hi
Picking one piece that really leaves me WTF? out of this
way-too-long-thread. Happens to be a post by Lucas, but could be anyone
else too.
'rolling' is a statement by the project that we consider 'testing'
(renamed to 'rolling')
Why the heck do we start by renaming testing? This will seriously
disrupt service for anyone for DAYS. There are just too many places
tools are using testing hardcoded. Too many users having that in
sources.list. Too many things assuming there is stable, testing,
unstable. And all of them would suddenly, out of nothing, have broken
systems and need to fix them.
If somehow rules for testing get changed (to be whatever rolling wants
to be), fine. Thats one thing.
But for what reason change the name? That's worse PR than usually
done by politicians, and they generally do the things noone with a brain
ever does. So why?
How much of that would apply if we renamed testing to rolling (because
it reinforces the PR message), but kept a symlink from testing to
rolling?
