I'm hoping that we can convince the release team to change their mind.
By reading Luk's replies in this thread and looking at the way this was
communicated, I'm not that confident that it will succeed.
Do we as developers have other ways to say "This is really bad, please
don't" other than doing a GR.
I do not want to disarm the release team in general, but I do want to
communicate that I find this (decision, process, timing) very bad for
debian, for me and for my motivation to do debian work.
If I end up having to choose wether to disarm the current release team
in general or not being able to properly communicate what I_think is
inappropriate, I guess I need to figure out what to do.
I really hope that release team will change its mind.
