Ill-considered decisions seem to have become increasingly prevalent among a small subset of Debian Developers. For example, a critical but easily fixed bug was recently closed without fix or comment, apparently based on personalities rather than technicalities[1]. Fortunately the ill-considered decisions of this minority are public, which makes them available for consideration by their potential future employers. Hopefully this mechanism will correct the problem. --Mike Bird [1] http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?msg=7;bug=610185 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
