Fundamentally you make a wrong assumption. If policy requires that "developers MUST hop on one leg while uploading packages", and someone catches me sitting down during a long upload, a bug on my package will do nothing to correct that, and will be "fixed" by a bit-identical upload made in the privacy of my own home (while lying down, probably). Policy cannot mandate developer behavior outside the strings of bits we're allowed to put into Debian. > I have a full log of this email conversation, as indeed do the > list archives, so just go back and lok the whole thread up. It'd be great if you'd use your archive to read the thread and motivatons that led up to the draft proposal before you try to falsly accuse us as you do in the first paragraph I've quoted. > Well, If this proposal was in plain text, not a properly > formed patch against current policy, and thus meant to be interpreted > in the context of the policy document, perhaps that would have been > clearer. It was clearly marked as a draft proposal, and not a formal policy proposal. And frankly, the thread was quite congenial and productive until you came along. -- see shy jo
