I don't agree with this view. A lot of the development in Debian is driven by Canonical as well, and the opinion of Canonical / Ubuntu counts for me. Having some people from Canonical involve in the vote is simply representative of the active DDs as well, and what makes Debian (I'm not sure if it is on the same proportion, but I don't think we should go that far in this reasoning either...). In other words, *if there's was* conflict of interest in the voters (I don't think there is), then we could as well consider that Debian also has a conflict of interest toward Canonical too, so it wouldn't have been a bad thing after all. Though as Didier wrote, I do trust them, I "assume good faith", and will let them do their best. I also think this is really a bad topic which shouldn't even have been raised in this list. This is very disrespectful. It has been fed by trolls who aren't doing anything in Debian and who are used to do such things in other communities (yes, Uoti, I'm pointing at you... among others). And it has gone a way too far already. No doubt that the tech-ctte is facing a very difficult decision, maybe one of the hardest in the history of that entity. It is now obvious to me that there is no good answer to the problem we are facing, and that the tech-ctte decision, whatever it will be, wont satisfy everyone. So I just hope that everyone will realize that, and respect whatever decision they will take.
