Hi, this is maybe a bit off-topic here, but as the notion of "hats" have become quite popular in Debian in the last two years or so, I want to comment on this.

Yes. But if the others dont see that, it practically hasn't happened. (For
them, but usually this is what matters.)
And this is exactly the problem I have with "hats". The concept is good, we
all have different roles in our lives and it's good that/if each of us is
aware of this. But as the concept of hats is virtual (you only imagine you
wwear different hats!), too many people too often forget, to make these
virtual hat-changes visible in reality.
And some hats are (more or less) incompatible which each other, or at least
cause problems. The idea that one just can change hats as needed, hides this.
(But except for the secretary role I don't see any other role in Debian, where
the DPL hat is incompatible with the secretary hat.)

Holger
