There are, however, also a few practical reasons why I don't want to go down that route (that is, the reasons why I chose to allow beid be dropped from Debian in 2010 still apply). > I think this is simple, doable and does not require building trust > with external repositories which I think is not a great idea > generally. I disagree with that latter statement. That's not to say that these external repositories need to be supported and/or trusted to the same extent as our own repositories, but that's a different question. -- It is easy to love a country that is famous for chocolate and beer -- Barack Obama, speaking in Brussels, Belgium, 2014-03-26 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
