The constitution explicitly allows the DPL to do that. The DPL is elected as a leader, not as someone with no power at all. If you don't trust someone to use the powers the constitution gives them, don't elect them in the first place. > You're putting words in my mouth.

So every time someone decides someone else isn't doing a good enough job and gets some support for that, they can trigger an election?

If their inability to get along with anyone in the project doesn't impair their ability to get work done or justify their decisions, then I think they belong in Debian. -- Matthew Garrett | [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
