Frankly spoken, I think it makes sense when the backported aim is
beast-mcmc which now sits in main to have those toolchain changes happen
in backports, too. Yes, it's a bit of a corner case, but I think it is
part of our social contract here, putting the emphasis on free software
as our priority.
Though, what I'm absolutely *not* fine with is that this wasn't brought
up beforehand and that we are expected to figure that out on our own.
I always stated clearly that we are willing to listen to reasoning and
discuss things, and not have things dumped on us to stay here puzzled
not knowing what's going on and why something is done out of the
ordinary.
It is not acceptable to do things that aren't so-to-say standard
procedure and either try to sneak them in or wait for us to figure it
out without getting in contact at all.
Amongst others it's situations like these that make me very strongly
object to have DDs auto added to the ACL file, just to recap on a recent
discussion on the list.
So long,
Rhonda
