Ok, here we go. My draft of a formal policy for dep changes and the CI: https://community.kde.org/Policies/Dependency_Changes_and_CI
Compared to my earlier email, this draft contains some hard deadlines and an attempt to specify failure modes if the deadlines are not met. Please chime in with suggestions for how the text needs to be refined and expanded to meet your and our needs. Updated versions of specific paragraphs are the preferred format for doing so: The thread so far has shown that free-form conversation is prone to mudslinging, so let's try to keep to the lingo fo a formal, dry document. Cheers, Eike
