Fair enough! I will admit (having been a devoted Debian user in personal and large commercial settings for the past 15+ years but only an occasional packager) that I'm very impressed at how you keep up with the extreme volume of packaging you do day to day, and ultimately feel however you manage to maximize your efficiency is best for everyone. My main upstream takeaway from this is that we should perhaps be considering tarballs as a target-specific packaging format (PyPI et al) in and of themselves any longer, rather than a general release item and stop placing as much focus on them in release announcements if packagers are mostly just consuming source directly from our version control systems now. Thanks for considering my (apparently outdated) arguments, and keep up the good work! -- Jeremy Stanley -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
