Hello, 

I  decided to  write, as  I'm rather  new to  all  the decision-making
process going  on in  Debian. Please, disregard  it if you  don't have
time for that or consider it  unimportant. I was really stunned by the
arrogant manner  in which such  important decision was  announced. But
what really are the implications? Is Scott James Remnant the person to
decide, whether effort  of many people should be  wasted? Is he backed
by any Central  Party Committee which has executive  powers in Debian?
I'm sorry for this terminology but it all reminds me the communist era
too much.   Do things  like this  happen often in  Debian? One  of the
greatest advantages of  Open Source software, as I  see it, is freedom
it gives to the user and developer, and here we have a blatant example
of taking that freedom away, don't we?
