I do not see how talking about the NM process or that GR is at all relevant in this thread, and please do not consider this message of mine an intent to contribute to it in any other way but to clarify a misrepresentation of a team I'm a member of. From the point of view of Front Desk, motivation has always been there: http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel-announce/2008/10/msg00005.html but a GR was needed to be able to proceed, because the hands of FD were rather tied by this other GR: http://www.debian.org/vote/2008/vote_002 Please do not try to provide facts about the motivation or intentions of others unless you really know them, otherwise you run into the risk of misrepresenting other people, which is bad.
