Give us some >examples of what you consider to be the most likely instances "damaging >behavior". Be explicit, and don't leave any details to the imagination. Examples of damaging behaviour that I'd consider: * deliberately causing damage in packages (e.g. inserting a backdoor into installed systems, or "rm -rf /" in a postinst) * serious misuse of project facilities (e.g. using accounts on Debian servers to distribute warez or to attack other systems) * bringing the project into disrepute (e.g. continually engaging in abusive flamewars on mailing lists or elsewhere) I can't anticipate all possible issues here - I'm not clairvoyant and I don't pretend to be. What about you? What would you consider as adequate grounds? No "pussy-footing", now... :-) -- Steve McIntyre, Cambridge, UK. steve@einval.com "I suspect most samba developers are already technically insane...
