Of course it's a disruptive change, but what is the purpose of Salsa? I think it's a tool *for* Debian and Debian Developers. Most of the users surely will prefer that the default path for the CI configuration on Debian projects is a Debian compatible path. Maybe we could open a thread to discuss this on d-devel, if some day we have the feature to make this change, but it's is not even planned yet. Anyway, I think the best alternative for making this change less disruptive is going to be group-level definitions[0] of this kind of configurations. Please, everyone interested on discussing this feature please comment the issue on the Gitlab issue tracker. 0_ https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/issues/41764#note_54911766 -- - ina
