Anne has, as usual, stated my opinion much more eloquently than I ever would be able to. Thomas and Matt, this has been an ongoing feud since well before I was around, and while I understand we're not there yet, every release brings us so much closer to an Install Guide solution that will work for everyone. Not just to get a Debian Install Guide published, but to get an Install Guide that covers every project in the big tent. This conversation, and the many other conversations we have had on this topic over the past few months will again form a large part of the agenda at the design summit, and I look forward to being able to hash this out in more detail then. > > I have another idea for a way forward that doesn't require consensus across > teams.
