That’s why the submitted GCD are also announced on info-guix low-traffic mailing list. At least for now. Therefore, I encourage you to subscribe to this low-traffic mailing list. > Also, that could be out of scope here, but given the length of the > threads, and the importance of the change, it could be a good idea (or > not) to somehow summarize the various arguments not to have to repeat > them and to enable more people to join in the discussion.

The idea behind the process is twofold: (1) Through the discussion, GCD author(s) collect various comments and try to propose a new revision including them. When announcing this new revision, the author list the main changes compared to the previous revision. (2) Sponsor(s) and Author(s) try to shepherd the discussion. Somehow, that’s not a debate about pros vs cons where at the end we must pick one or the other. Instead, we raise what we accept, what it’s not our taste but we can live with it and what we cannot live with it. Somehow, when you do not have enough time to read all the discussion, you focus only on the last revision of the GCD document and raise your concerns (if any) based on it. Yeah, maybe someone already raised the same concern and you think your message will add some noise to the thread. Well, I do not know, maybe… Or perhaps instead your worded differently this concern and it helps the overall discussion. Well, I think that revision of the GCD should play the role you are asking for. Cheers, simon
