Hi Matthew, Your rationale does not explain how the normal policy process has failed to deliver the outcomes required by the project. I think the project should require a very clear explanation as to why it should interfere in this process. At least one policy editor and the relevant maintainers have already been working on this and the process is in no way deadlocked. Given that, I can't see any reason why this work should be disrupted.
If you do have a rationale for pressing forward on this GR, then you should also note that the wording in this proposed resolution is poorly constructed quite simply because some of the issues that are very clearly articulated in #727708 have been ignored [0]. The worst problem is that the particular wording here fails the "someone should do something" test -- that's not how Debian or Free Software works at all. If no-one has a particular itch to actually sit down and write an alternative implementation, then the work doesn't get done. Demanding, as the proposed text does, that some future and unnamed group of people must do some work is doomed. At least the absence of volunteers to declassify debian-private mails doesn't make packages RC buggy. Perhaps all our energies would be better spent fixing real bugs rather than arguing about hypothetical ones? It would be disappointing for us to waste yet more time and energy on this matter rather than actually concentrating on making a great release. Feel free to pick any of the 300ish RC bugs in jessie if you need some suggestions. Stuart [0] And I don't think it's unreasonable to assume that the proposers of GRs on this issue would have read this information carefully. -- Stuart Prescott http://www.nanonanonano.net/ stu...@nanonanonano.net Debian Developer http://www.debian.org/ stu...@debian.org GPG fingerprint BE65 FD1E F4EA 08F3 23D4 3C6D 9FE8 B8CD 71C5 D1A8 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-vote-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
