I agree with Axel here.
Normally for a TC decision which the maintainer has failed to
implement, an NMU would be an appropriate response.
However, in this case it appears that further clarification is needed.
Simply playing core wars in the archive would not be appropriate.
I think we should issue a new TC resolution which is 100% watertight
and unambigous, prohibiting changes like this one and any others with
similar effect.
Does anyone on the TC disagree ?
If not then I will draft something along these lines.
Ian.
