Who, in this thread, is this hypothetical someone? As far as I can tell, this thread started with a simple question: is there a policy for a certain thing? There were a couple of honest responses, Then we have a lot of whining about how the younglings cannot think for themselves from people who should know better, and a mini-flamewar based on those thoughts, but I haven't seen anyone talking about enforcing anything, until now. Where did the old-fashioned practice of reading comprehension and assuming good intentions (instead of stupidity or malice) go [1]? (No, this isn't directed solely, or even mainly, at you:) [1] Yes, there are situations where you should assume malice, but debian-devel discussions aren't one of them - and there is no situation where assuming stupidity is better than assuming good intentions. -- Antti-Juhani Kaijanaho, Debian developer http://kaijanaho.info/antti-juhani/blog/en/debian
