I agree, if decision go against (or choosing the 2nd choice or something) the recommendation; i would expect the board members to explain their choice, tbh, i think this is common sense... i didn't even think it was required to do so. Of course, the rest of the community should also accept that the board has more expertise/knowledge on this, and if they explain sufficiently, it should be no problem. Of course, every choice they/we make, we'll never satisfy everyone, just remember that sometimes a compromise will be necessary and you should accept that (or start a public slander campaign :-D ). _______________________________________________ Mageia-discuss mailing list [email protected] https://www.mageia.org/mailman/listinfo/mageia-discuss
