Quick idea? Not really... but quick wording for a non-native english speaker, yes. That's one of the reason I not made a proposal on the first try. > I concur that we should wait.

When the logo vote will be done, I will wait no more than a week for Wichert Proposal (or at least some news from him about something related), elsewhere I will make it a formal Proposal (referring to Manoj's Policy Document). As I previously said, I know that my proposal have some drawbacks and I wait Wichert for something more well thought and scalable. The "gracefullness blowing" of Debian is a major concern in the distro for too much time (I remember to have seen this subject when Bruce was the leader) and I think my solutions is easy enough to implement and will really help. At least, is really better than a RH-like-contrib distribution (something I think we could avoid by NOT dividing the distro with priorities (like standard-and-greater and less-than-standard distros). I could think of many other ways to divided the distro. My "future proposal" is just the simpler way I can think to keep our fully integrated distro (one of the strongest points of Debian, IMHO) when managing the always bigger problem of Debian exponential growth.
