I think that the CTTE is so slow that there is no need to pause in any way. The d-devel thread seems rather boring, so we may as well move ahead. Let me restate that I see this as a procedural issue. I believe that a maintainer has an obligation to communicate in a reasonable way. For instance, we file RC bugs when the maintainer address bounces. I argue that maintainer communication isn't working for pam. Even if more arguments against DPKG_ROOT pop up now, I kinda find it late on procedural grounds. So no, let's not pause this. Nothing has changed really. While Steve did reply, that doesn't happen to please Sam. If the three weeks expired today, I would have referred it to the CTTE as well. Helmut
