I think the concern that people have here (and I'm not sure yet whether it is enough of a concern to warrant creating more administration) is that the DEP driver is almost certainly going to have a vested interest in the DEP reaching consensus (otherwise they wouldn't have volunteered to drive it in the first place), and therefore isn't a great choice for an impartial judge of consensus if there's some dispute. -- Russ Allbery (r...@debian.org) <http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
