I think previous discussions on this list have made it clear that "legally meaningful way" (as you put it) can be at most optional and is in practise not applicable for non-trivial or a least medium-size-up upstream project. So by bring this up again now, you basically managed to throw away most of the remaining buy-in from the developer body for DEP#5. In other words, change your opinion to be in line with the majority opinion and/or retract yourself from driving the DEP#5 proposal. And making up large threads on -devel to "form your opinion" is not something we can sustain in the project as a whole. If everybody of the 1000 DDs (plus the DMs and other developers) queries -devel to form their opinion on something, the project will simply stall and/or be removed from one of its prime communication channels. cheers, Michael -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
