However, please note that you should either maintain a list of approved applications on the wiki, so that we can check it from time to time, or you need to police that yourselves and let us know (propose a blocker) when something like that happens (the latter is better for us, of course). > > > > I'm planning to do the later and then propose this blivet-gui bug as a > blocker.

Just file a blocker proposal and describe what's wrong and that you're applying your WG veto, and we'll auto-accept it. Of course, you can still add the policy to the wiki (so that it's documented). > > CCing the FESCo list for anyone else there to chime in.
