Note that this bug that I've filed was not asking the Technical Committee to overrule you. I agree that, if my goal was to get this patch reincluded, filing a TC bug would be a disproportionate way to achieve that. But this was not my reason for raising the issue with the TC. While I think that your change to tftp-hpa was inappropriate, the present reality is that this is only my opinion. This opinion does not carry the force of policy, because the TC declined to provide technical guidance, with various members of the committee instead offering platitudes about how Debian developers can be trusted to provide appropriate levels of support for alternative init systems without needing to be told to do so. So I am not raising this bug to the TC because I disagree with you - though I disagree both with you dropping the patch, and with you not talking to me first about whether it was still needed. I am raising this bug to the TC because I think it is an example of why the approach taken by the TC is naive and wrong, and I am giving the TC the opportunity to remedy this failure to provide technical leadership. > to the allegations made in this bug report: upstart support has been > only *temporarily* be present in experimental. it has never been in > unstable, technically there was never any upstart support. Yes, and I think it was wrong that the bug was closed by an upload to experimental instead of to unstable when there was nothing experimental about it. But that is also not the reason for me raising this issue. -- Steve Langasek Give me a lever long enough and a Free OS Debian Developer to set it on, and I can move the world.
