Let me clarify this for everyone. Bruce has made it clear that I, and some other people in agreement with me are not welcome in HIS project, and that any work we do for it will be rejected. If Bruce did not hold the position he does, I would be maintaining at least one normal package, several linux-router packages, as well as writing/maintaining the crypto wrapper I mentioned in some crypto policy discussion last week. (That everyone but Bruce seemed to think was a good idea.) You might also have noticed my discussion in this poilcy suddenly dropped off, because Bruce began filtering my mail again. So Ian, have you finially seen the error in your theory? The project leader already has the ability to effectivly banish people from the project. (IE make them non-developers) Now you also wish to create a policy to only allow developers on the lists. By what critria and who decides WHO is a developer? Things like this should not even be brought up in a FREE software project.... How you've been able to justify Bruce's actions thus far I'd like to know. (Seeing as how you yourself wish to take his position)
