control: tags -1 wontfix I'm not at all convinced this is a good idea. We're replacing a great, well-tested facility--namely running maintainer scripts in root directories with a mechanism that requires support to be spread through each package.
I appreciate that this approach has the support of a significant number of people in the community. And obviously, if the consensus of the project is this is the direction we're going, then PAM should go along. I'm wondering though whether we've reached the level of project consensus, or simply consensus of those who think it is a good idea. If this isn't ultimately the direction we're going, then I think adding this complexity spread throughout our system is harmful. It's certainly too late for bullseye to consider something like this. I'd be happy to sit down with one of the proponents over a voice call in May or June to understand the current state of this effort, what level of consensus has been achieved and consider next steps. I think that initial discussion would be too high bandwidth for email. Obviously, if vorlon believes this is the right direction he can remove the wontfix tag.
