Hey guys, Every other day on IRC, I see people arguing about touching each others packages, despite our policies against it. (Sometimes it's even me who's doing the touching!) My instinctive reaction is always, "can't everybody calm down and be happy somebody is doing your work for you?" The answer to this question is, of course, that it depends who the developer is and how competent you are.
So, nothing new here. I don't want to bikeshed about it. Business as usual. Perhaps we can come up with something more formal for solving this, that works a bit better than my package-policy.txt idea (see other thread). A few have proposed in the past adding this kind of "attitude information" to metadata.xml. Does anybody have any concrete proposals for what this would look like? Thanks, Jason -- Jason A.
