So if QA thinks one way is right, and the package maintainer thinks another way is right, you say QA always trumps? I'm looking at this as "innocent until proven guilty" versus "guilty until proven innocent." When parties are in disagreement, the _current_ situation should stand until the council (or the two groups in question) resolves it. That assumes lack of extenuating circumstances such as security vulnerabilities or major tree breakage. Thanks, Donnie
