Of course, and I'm sure everyone knows that. When I read the announcement again, then I see no reason to panic. :) http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel-announce/2007/02/msg00008.html An example, how I understand the announcement: - a DD skips the coming DPL vote, - this DD forgets to register "on vacation", - this DD goes on vacation for 4 weeks, - DAM sends a WaT e-mail, - DAM waits a reasonable time for a reply :) - the DD is back from vacation, - the DD has missed the WaT e-mail, - DAM decides to set the account to "emeritus state", - e-mail still works for 12 months, - the DD notices the reduced permissions with next package update, - the DD contacts DAM, "huuuh my account is locked!" - DAM restores the full account, "hi you're back, how was vacation" This seems very reasonable.
