and I disagree. (or well...I agree.)
What we list are target prices so to say. Negotitions might be possible (but
are the exceütion and are certainly not cc:ed to press@ as this mail is)
instead rather discussed and approved within the team on #debconf-sponsors
(which is not logged like eg this list).
Sleep for real now. I hope things become clearer now.
cheers,
Holger
