No, it is not. It is stagnant, not stable. I don't believe there's any consensus about it; there have been list discussions in the past with major objections to its current content that are so far unaddressed, and the current content is, furthermore, the outcome of a long series of non-consensual edits. I as the DEP driver don't stand behind it at all as a standard in its current form. This is my fault as the DEP driver (both for letting the non-consensual editing take place and for not guiding the discussion better), but it does mean that I'm not about to mark the current document as a candidate. I hope to make some progress on remedying this starting next week. -- Steve Langasek Give me a lever long enough and a Free OS Debian Developer to set it on, and I can move the world.
