Quoting ian_bruce@fastmail.net (ian_bruce@fastmail.net): > If Debian bug report #684128 proves anything, it is that you will never > convince anyone with technical argument, facts advanced in support of Sorry, but Debian bug #684128 only proves one thing : that we (the D-I team) were mostly trying to release an installer for wheezy during the last 8 months....and that the proposed changes were not judged as suitable for wheezy....as nobody picked them up. Nothing proves that the patches you proposed will be ignored *after* the release of wheezy. Frankly speaking, given the current manpower in the D-I team, it might need help to get them in, mostly by reminding us *on time*, and factually, that these patches are here. D-I has several dozens of components, each with a few dozens of bugs....several probably with working patches that only need someone in the team to have enough time and his|her attention focused on them. I perfectly understand you can be frustrated but, honestly, as of now, we're focused on the wheezy release, again. Fixing debootstrap has much more importance than Giga/Gibibytes. Once wheezy is released, I see no reason for your proposed patch to be "rejected". But, again, the best way to remind this to us is a simple mail like "Hello, folks, may I remind you about this patch and proposed fix? Would you consider it for jessie?". No need for dozens of line of irony which....being (most of us in the D-I team) non native speakers of English...we won't even understand..:-)
