"Honest mistakes"? * He did a mass-filing without prior permission in, I think, 2001 to try and get a lot of packages to add the "-z combreloc" to their linker flags. * He did a mass-filing without prior permission in December 2001 to try to persuade the maintainers of several SDL-dependent packages to break their linkage. This is (at least) his third offense in the mass-filing department. He has been reproached -- sometimes vehemently -- each time he has done it. > Not the Debian I want to be associated with. *shrug* Might as well repeal the rule about mass-filings, then.
