I have no problem acknowledging that we haven't been able to implement the existing GR, but I don't see the utility of voting to remove the possibility of ever implementing it. I don't see how we could ever declassify -private without this amendment as the previous vote had an alternative to declassify mails before 2005 which failed, [I should note too, that I've attempted on one or two occasions to go through and declassify -private, but the process required was far too clunky.] Therefore, I'm contemplating proposing an amendment to this proposed GR which either acknowledges that we have failed to declassify -private for the time being, or gives listmaster@ the ability to define a published procedure for the automated declassification of private. Possible text for the former here: === BEGIN GR TEXT === Title: Acknowledge that Debian has failed to declassify debian-private 1. Debian acknowledges that it has failed to declassify debian-private, and that this is unlikely to change at any point in the future. 2. In keeping with paragraph 3 of the Debian Social Contract, Debian Developers are strongly encouraged to use the debian-private mailing list only for discussions that should not be disclosed. === END GR TEXT === -- Don Armstrong https://www.donarmstrong.com There is no mechanical problem so difficult that it cannot be solved by brute strength and ignorance. -- William's Law
