n might be packaging dict/dictd without providing any
dictionary files. Yes, they're available out there and you could
download and install them where dictd and its tools could find and use
them, but it's not really functional without any installed.

t's true, and a good thing. It doesn't mean that removing such
content from the official repositories *doesn't* have a chilling effect,
however; at most it means that that effect is less than it otherwise
might be.
The term "chilling effect" is not about blocking access to, o
d proposing to take away one of the small things
I somewhat like having around, and that taking-away happening almost
immediately despite the existence of pushback over it, and then that
person reacting to the pushback by proposing to take away a *bigger*
thing that I even *more* like having around.
ikes me as relevant to the modern political moment, in that it's been
referenced continually throughout the US political-news media for the
past couple of years:

learn what the intent and scope of that tag actually are, but it's been
my understanding for - as I said - quite a few years now.

I'm glad to learn that, at least.

The reasonable man adapts himself
to its last
non-broken version (whether verbatim or with a version bump over the
broken one), not for the package to have been removed entirely.
This may well not be practical as a policy, and I'm not trying to
suggest it as one, but it's an example of how broken-package removal can
be
d PolicyKit.
I 100% agree. I simply lack those cycles, at least if I want enough
leisure time to remain sane. (For such values of "sane" as may apply to
begin with, at any rate.)

The solution here would be either to convince upstreams not to depend on
policykit, or to provide (restore?) and package a sufficiently

I don't think even that much similarity is enough to make it a trademark
violation, though. If nothing else, Debian and Dreamwidth are in very
different businesses. ^_^
