I do not believe that policy has ever proscribed that a developer must keep their development machine in one state or another, and I think it's a bad idea to start doing so. For this reason I much prefer the first version of the patch you submitted, personally. > That said, I'm sure many of us already have non-free software on > our systems; pretty much anyone who uses amd64 for example has > fairly untrustworthy firmware somewhere on their system. This is one reason that I don't think it's fair to start shaming people who may wish to install steam or another non-free game/game system on their machine. (we also should not suggest that someone cannot contribute to Debian without more htan one physical machine in their possession.) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-policy-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
