Really? Here are some other words that go hand-in-hand with 'package hijack': - vigilante - antisocial - arrogant - acrimonious - disrespectful - demotivating We have consensual processes for taking over unmaintained packages via the QA Team, and we have processes of last resort to reasssign packages via the Technical Committee if a maintainer is unwilling to give up the package. There's no excuse for hijacking packages, and it's poisonous to the atmosphere of the project. -- Steve Langasek Give me a lever long enough and a Free OS Debian Developer to set it on, and I can move the world.
