That's not currently true. Orphaned packages are not typically removed from the unstable distribution. Instead their maintainer is set to (orphaned) or [EMAIL PROTECTED] I prefer the current practice. > Duties of a maintainer > Privileges of a maintainer The proposed constitution already provides outlines these in a better fashion. > Orphaned packages [first paragraph based on s2.3.2, policy manual] It seems you agree with what I wrote above. So you should strike the "Every package..." sentence I quoted. And now to the crux of your post. This is a much more reasonable suggestion. My only criticism is of the requirement of a head maintainer. The proposed constitution already has a method for settling technical disagreements between developers. Choosing a head maintainer purely so that we can point the finger is disingenuous. Guy -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
