Hi Simon, I guess you are not saying that the tokens spent by the DFSG team would have a better use in other aspects of Debian's operations... If you take the environmental point of view, you can consider that NEW processing is in a better situation than running autopkgtests on i386, where we know that for some packages it is totally pointless, yet the burden to reduce Debian's carbon i386 footprint is on the shoulder of the package mainainer and not the i386 porters... Altogether our footprint is higher than it should and making too strong of an example of only one team slips into just fingerpointing. If tomorrow the LLM reviews of uploaded packages are removed, it will not change much to the electicity bill of our sponsors. We need more global thinking. We can do better. Why do we rebuild the packages just to update a homepage or the uploaders list? There are plenty of aspects where we thought that changing Debian was impossible, but this thread suggests that there is light at the end of the tunnel...
