if they comply with the rules set out by the TSG last week? Absolutely YES.
Was it your intention to replace :

I don't think that was at all clear. I was at the meeting. It very much came
across as a "MeeGo will allow a more diverse collection of adaptations"
policy... NOT as a "MeeGo will allow any adaptation to be created without the
need for any tracking through FEA or bugs".
In other words, when considering supporting oaktrail the previous policy would
have rejected it as "not being upstream" whereas now an FEA to "support
oaktrail" is allowed.
Had the poster used such an FEA and if we followed a more flexible
interpretation of the # (see my just sent post) then they'd get a free pass for
quite a while for the sake of a bug report.
Well, and we're side-stepping program management totally by having those
dummy bugs. A new package should be a FEA# and approved by program
management as per
http://wiki.meego.com/Release_Engineering/Process#Package_quality_expectations_for_submissions_into_.2A:Testing_projects
Either we start enforcing it for everything or we have to modify the
rules
to fit reality... Proposals welcome?
Isn't that the point of this. The process just found a clearly bogus
change to a package. There is no valid bug being addressed and no
feature logged. Who is responsible for 'oaktrail'.
What makes you think this package is clearly bogus ?????????
>
An adaptation kernel that complies by the rules of last weeks TSG
decision is submitted... what makes that bogus ?
There is no bug that has been fixed. This is a new feature being accepted
without anyone's approval.

is required"
