From the bug: > RC severity mostly so this shows up on the radars of all the right > people crossing off the details we need to finalise for the release. That doesn't apply here. Hmm I personally can't get cmus to break this way but it could be RC if it breaks in default installations. > > If you look at the status of DECnet: > > > > No kernel maintainer (except general net/ maintenance): > > https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/M > AINTAINERS?id=v4.1-rc8#n3060 > > > > dnprogs upstream appears to be dead: > > http://sourceforge.net/projects/linux-decnet/ > > > > dnprogs is orphaned: > > https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=750670 > > Which is my whole point.

I found this bug: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=675014 This is the newer one: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=755934 But I couldn't find any evidence the _current_ maintainer of roaraudio has refused to remove DECnet support. The current bug about it has no replies. James
