I find this mail of yours very disappointing and possibly even failing our Code of Conduct on multiple accounts. The origin of this thread was a proposal to adapt dpkg. Your mail appears to imply that you are in favour of that approach. Yet, you describe this as wasting time. Can you redirect your energy at reviewing DEP 17 and thus building consensus instead? I would also like to remind you of constitution section 2.1.1. Clearly, Guillem does not like the approach Debian has chosen and chooses to not implement the necessary changes. However, nobody else has done so either. The closest thing to a working patch is what Simon Richter did and even he does not consider it ready for inclusion at the time of this writing. As such, I find the implied accusation disrespectful. > This inability to find consensus, to take decisions, accept and follow > them is one of the most central problems that Debian has. This thread precisely is about finding consensus about a way to move forward. We evaluate multiple different approaches to contain the necessary complexity in parallel. I think this is fine. Your contribution to this process is not constructive. Please reconsider your involvement in this debate. Helmut
