I donβt fully disagree. This is forced by the people actively trying to allow slop in.
I don't agree with this sentiment. I don't want slop in Debian, but as more and more upstreams increasingly use various AI tools, I believe it's becoming increasingly urgent for Debian as a project to have some guidelines on this. Many of us feel the same way. As Ansgar mentioned in another follow-up, rsyslog should probably be out already. So policy would really help in *preventing* slop and code with questionable copyright.
That said, I don't personally think a GR is urgent right now, but discussions about it is important so that we can find some good common ground for when a GR on this does happen.
