Said contention ran from 2012 to 2014. A quick check of /usr/bin/cal will reveal we're almost done with _2017_ (not a moment too soon). > I still lurk on Debian-User I notice debian-user past trauma still loom larges for you and sundry others. Never had any use for that mailing list, myself, and I _do_ wonder if you-plural ever fully grasped that debian-user is a sideshow, something of a disregarded ghetto for the Project. Debian's discussion among Debian developers, the people who, with the Project's technical bureaucrats run the show and have the voting franchise, are overwhelmingly elsewhere, on debian-developer and a number of other specialised technical forums. Not on debian-user. Because why would it be? I didn't notice the debian-user ruckus about systemd until long afterwards (because I don't read that list), but, when I did, my reaction was 'SRSLY? You guys thought a loud advocacy campaign, predominated by non-DDs, would influence the Project's political process, and moreover that this would centre around a campaign conducted on the debian-USER mailing list?' This struck me as woefully ignorant about the workings of, well, just about everything in that picture. And here you are still, trying to refight that, and surprised the current DPL didn't think to mention it. Truth and Reconciliation (like in Rwanda)? You know, Steve, decaf tastes just about as good. _______________________________________________ Dng mailing list Dng@lists.dyne.org https://mailinglists.dyne.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dng
