I'd agree that the poll period was way too short. I don't think a poll should be necessary at all, in future. I think it should be a collective decision of the relevant maintainers. We don't micro-poll for every other packaging decision, and that's effectively what this is. If a maintainer makes a genuinely contentious decision, we have routines in place to deal with that. -- Jon Dowland -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
