I am not sure you got my last two arguments, or you're distorting them here: I'm not discussing the current or best upload rights, I would certainly prefer it if everybody could upload arm binaries; what I'm pointing at is that this GR might completely revoke any right of the ftpmasters to block some uploads (for example by a particular person or at a particular time). I am not sure removing all these rights was the point of the GR. I'm not even sure global revoking of uploads rights doesn't make sense in some occasions; for example imagine the ftpmasters want to reject all uploads during a major upgrade of dak, or when moving the archive's master, would they still be able to do so after this GR? I would prefer the current wording to be changed if allowing such uses of ftpmasters' rights is desired. I am sure you did witness the ftp upload queue has been shutdown completely at multiple times and for various occasions. > > it sounds pointless to discuss what rights remain to them. > I could not agree more: discussion has shown to be pointless indeed, > hence the GR. Or so I guess. So, a pointless discussion in response to a pointless discussion?
