I'm personally very concerned about the developers whose decisions we are overriding or mediating. But we probably don't convey this well enough.

Pretty much every time the CTTE makes a ruling, someone is going to be annoyed or demotivated. Easy, non-contentious decisions never make it to us. If there are concrete ways we can be better at making sure that it's clear developers concerns are being heard and taken into account which we are not already doing, I'd certainly like to hear them. That said, I don't think that it's reasonable for the CTTE to make decisions which are not technically sound (or avoid making decisions at all) purely to avoid hurting anyone's feelings. Moreover, I strongly believe that developers in Debian are capable of taking whatever decision the CTTE arrives at and making Debian be the most excellent distribution it can be. -- Don Armstrong http://www.donarmstrong.com Something the junk advertisers don't seem to understand: we live in an information super-saturated world. If I don't want to buy something, no amount of shouting or propagandizing will budge me; all it will do is get me annoyed. On the other hand, if I have a need for your product, I can seek it out in an eyeblink. -- Charles Stross "Toast: A Con Report" in _Toast_ p136 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
