Yes. What you're thinking is pretty close to what I'm thinking. [Most of the text of your letter is the sort of stuff that I think of as policy -- and that's non-technical policy, and is exactly the sort of thing that the policy group should be formulating. ... In my personal opinion this sort of policy is needed.] [[For the moment, I'm going on the text of our constitution, as I understand it, and past statements of Debian goals. Examples of such statements: "having a system which can be smoothly upgraded", "having policy being a codification of existing practice", etc. I don't deserve credit for any of these ideas -- I'm just remembering them. [I hope I'm remembering them accurately.]]] Thanks, -- Raul
