I fail to follow this line of reasoning. Does the bts not make everything more nice and tidy? Instead of discussions about removals taking place in bug reports, and stagnating, the bts has a nice tidy section on those. Anyway, RM bugs are just like any other bug: they're only suggestions. That's why I often say "please consider". The release team is of course going to investigate (i.e. talk to maintainers if needed) before jumping the gun and ticking people off. I've also found that RM bugs often light fires under people, resulting in problems solved faster. So, that's all positive (except for the maintainers that don't react). Package removals are a healthy part of the release process. Let's not slow that down. > NACK until the maintainers have chance to comment. Completely understandable. I knew that would be part of the process. Thanks for the feedback. Best wishes, Mike -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-release-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
