I don't do ab-dominem pointing fingers. I believe this is normally detrimental to the project. However, I don't have any choice in this case. Matthew is consistently attempting to remove the Debian support from the install-guide. He's doing it again:
https://review.openstack.org/#/c/302934/ And without any discussion with me, who did all of the work. And again, just after the release, which is when I usually have the time to work again on the install-guide. The first time it happened, was when the install-guide was converted to RST. I was told I couldn't commit, as it was frozen. This type of behavior is completely in opposition to what we've voted for: the bit tent, where everyone is welcome. In this case Matthew, is clearly making a war against Debian support in the install-guide. I don't want this to happen. Matthew, in his CR, wrote: "lack of maintenance and usability" Well, first of all, I don't agree with that. Second, like on every releases, I intended to work on it after the packages were done, for the Mitaka release. Another thing is that the Debian packages are the only ones available for many services, as Canonical doesn't work on them (these packages are just sync from Debian, at best). So we'd be effectively removing the only OS where it can be installed. I received *many* feedback from people who would like to see more of Debian in the install-guide, not less, and even less get it completely removed. During a year, I had to point to the direct link where the Debian guide was installed, as the link on docs.openstack.org was removed (up to now, still don't understand why this happened). Now, even the generation of the Debian docs is removed, and I can't point to it. This has to stop. This is disgusting, and with no valid reason. The same way every project should be welcome in the install-guide, contributors should be welcome, and for all operating systems.
