I appreciate that you feel you have a lot of knowledge and experience, and some good practices to share, but: * This thread was not really the place for sharing best practices. * As previously noted, this thread was about maintenance within Debian, but you are primarily discussing being a downstream. * You have posted quite a lot, covering a wide set of subtopics, and your messages are starting to dominate the thread. * You're trying to get Debian to change the way it does things but this is not really the right way to go about it. I am sympathetic to many of your points, but can you please reconsider your approach ? Many of the things you say here are worth discussing but burying them in this thread, in a scattered series of messages, is not very likely to produce useful outcomes. And some off-thread-topic messages are to be expected, but it is a problem if the thread gets derailed. Thanks, Ian. -- Ian Jackson <ijack...@chiark.greenend.org.uk> These opinions are my own.
