It is quite strange, in my POV, that it wasn't discussed with main teams (kernel, X, KDE, GNOME, d-i, ...) inside of Debian. We all know that even Debconf has a lot of people most of those projects hadn't people attending to the KeyNote and then this is not the proper place to _propose_ a plan. This is suppose to have been sent to debian-devel-announce, discussed and then after all announced. AFAIK the main point of communication for Debian Developers are debian-devel-announce and debian-announce. I was surprise that a KeyNote is not a formal way of making proposals and GET resolutions done. -- Otavio Salvador O.S.
