Thanks for pointing that out - I can see how that might seem contradictory. You put "drive-by" and "NMU" together - I don't consider those the same. Yes, I am in favor of NMUs and LowThreshold NMUs. NMUs require coordination ahead of non-maintainer uploads. LowThreshold NMUs recommend coordination ahead of non-maintainer uploads and are limited to non-important changes. What I object to is uncoordinated uploads. Hope that makes sense. - Jonas -- * Jonas Smedegaard - idealist & Internet-arkitekt * Tlf.: +45 40843136 Website: http://dr.jones.dk/ * Sponsorship: https://ko-fi.com/drjones [x] quote me freely [ ] ask before reusing [ ] keep private
