I don't particularly like this idea. It sounds an awful lot like "yeah, we suck and to try to make it not look so bad we're going to find an easy way to sweep things under the rug". That may not be the intent at all, but I'm afraid that's the message that a lot of contributors are going to have. The intrepid -> jaunty change is a triviality and has absolutely nothing to do with the quality of the package or its appropriateness for inclusion in Ubuntu. I feel like since it's our webapp and our responsibility we should deal with the consequences of people actually using it, not throw away hard work in order to make our todo list look better. It would be better, IMO, to shut of review to new packages until we've taken care of the backlog and perhaps made some improvements to REVU to make it easier for people to find what they want. -Jordan -- Ubuntu-motu mailing list [email protected] Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-motu
