It would serve as summary, if nothing else. But we also had a discussion with the DPL, who suggested a new GR which could be signed by the kernel team, the d-i team and the RMs (signed = seconded here). I don't know why he chose not to hold this publicly, but only with some given folk of all team, but in any case, we need to come up with a new proposal signed up by everyone, particularly since Don's GR is a no-op, and will not change anything. > why I think it should *not* be submitted as a GR (mostly because it > duplicates in > part or in full the proposals already on the table). I don't know if it is our position statement will become a GR or not, but it should serve as explanation of how things stand, and thus it is rather urgent to send it out to debian-vote or elsewhere, once it is confirmed, and then a GR needs to be coined to reflect our position, since both Frederik's original GR and Manoj's one lack a bit of clarity, which is not the case of your draft. > For those interested, the draft of the kernel team's position statement, > approved > by all members present during Saturday's meeting, is available at: > > http://svn.debian.org/wsvn/kernel/people/jurij/firmware-position-statement.txt?op=file&sc=1 > Thanks for posting the draft, do you know what we are waiting for to send it to -release and -boot for their confirmation of approval or comments ? Jurij, i still think your draft is lightyears more clear and to the point than most GRs out there. Friendly, Sven Luther -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
