I'm surprised that this was announced on debian-announce before it had first been announced on d-d-a[1], since that does carry a higher risk that a decision that has been announced to the general public may be reverted due to lack of support. Nevertheless, the distinction between "Debian decided" and "a delegate decided on behalf of the project" is not one that is relevant on debian-announce. -- Steve Langasek Give me a lever long enough and a Free OS Debian Developer to set it on, and I can move the world.
