In any case working with less tension should be done.
But do you think, it's interesting for Sven to work in this way.
He should wait until Frans or someone else to see his work in the svn
and with his knowledge about powerpc, I think lots of time will be lost
and the work will be delay. So you will have people working and able to
post patches for others architectures and for powerpc you will have
a delay if something is broken.

Yes, and you will have more work than you already have using this way to
fix powerpc broken stuffs.

Sure but looking after such of person is not easy and this person should
have lots of exeperience with powerpc, d-i and debian.
If you have someone who can do the same job as Sven did, then ok, we
will be happy to have him working on d-i but as far as I know, noone has
post about this topic and want to take this job.
We have Sven, why not trying to do forget what append before and try to
work together and not pointing on people everytimes.
