You're not going to fast, but you are being offensively condescending. > James> `Deprive users of choices'? Come again?

And I think you're being rude and hurtful, and that it's uncalled for. I have not shoved anything out of Debian. I REJECTed TiK, because I personally, do not feel it is suitable for main. Please note the personally there. There are two other archive maintainers who are able, if they are willing, to accept the package. I happen to be the person who, in between an 8-9 job, was processing Incoming at the time. I genuinely hope no one is going to suggest that I should be forced to personally add packages to main when I feel it is morally wrong to do so. I explained the maintainer's options in the REJECTion notice (see Incoming). As it says in the REJECTion notice, if it's reuploaded for main, I will simply ignore it. I'd be interested to see you explain how REJECTing a package is exceeding my authority. > This software requires no non free component on my box. Desist > from throwing it out of Debian. I didn't throw it out. In any event, I don't have the time or the inclination to suffer abuse like this and it's fairly evident that this idea is, depressingly, going nowhere fast. I'll wimp out too. -- James
