Yeah, i took the first points from Frederik's original proposal, and missed yours. That said, i have some trouble with : > | 3. We assure the community that there will be no regressions in > | the progress made for freedom in the kernel distributed by > | Debian relative to the Sarge release in Etch Because the real situation is that there is overall progress, but i believe there are individual regressions, because we re-added drivers which where pruned in sarge, but which left the users without installation media and kernel support, as no alternative was offered, which result in users needing to self-build an upstream kernel, which in turn means there is regression in freeness for their kernel over the debian one. I believe this is the case for tg3 and acenic, not 100% sure though. Furthermore, this statement contradicts what we are saying later on, with regard to the categories of firmware we are keeping and which not, so i would rather leave it away. The sarge pruning was not as well thought as what we have done now. Friendly, Sven Luther -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
