Thank you for this perspective! I had entirely forgotten about that. Realistically, I probably won't be able to drive this myself (at least soon), since I want to try to dig through the Policy backlog for places where we're blocking progress (which I don't think is true here). But even if we don't tackle this soon, I think this is a great statement of the issues. -- Russ Allbery (r...@debian.org) <https://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/>
