Sorry to see you leave. I must admit, I've been entirely negligent in following the policy discussions - due to lack of time, I've skipped them entirely. Instead, I've been relying on you to form a consensus and write them up into official policy. I suspect that most of the other "older" maintainers are the same way - they've skipped the policy discussions altogether - which would explain your perceived lack of support. I discovered about a year ago that the policy discussions are very draining and mostly negative, and seldom go anywhere. The only people who get anything accomplished in Debian are the people who actually do packaging and coding (although having a policy editor role is still important). I don't know how you held out for so long. Perhaps, instead of leaving Debian completely, try this -- just resign as the Policy guy first, and continue as a regular developer. I think you'll find it to be much more relaxed and enjoyable. This project is infamous for letting people "burn out" unnecessarily. Cheers, - Jim
