Utopia which is working pretty nicely with Ubuntu... And the argument that you advance are more in favor of my mode of working: if people's motivation is not static, it is even better not to have to rely on people to work on their packages and to let everyone do so. > > The release team will always give the green flag for a release > > anyway, so they will be the final judge, and if something is not > > perfect, and they think it is important, they will say so, and one > > of the gazillions of developers motivated enough by the release > > will fix it. > I don't know how this applies to the team-or-no-team question > one way or the other.

No, I already mentionned that I think some people are fucking things too greatly and why I wouldn't consider open NMU a good thing right now in Debian; I won't repeat the arguments here, but I simply think it's not possible "as is" in Debian right now. However, would this be possible, I consider it would be the rold of the release team to block the release until the bugs which matter are fixed: surprise, this is what they do right now! I think you're imaginating things based on what I said which are not correct simply because we are both talking on a to high level. In other words, we're both loosing our time if we can make so stupide misunderstandings. -- Loïc Minier <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
