This demonization of the Technical Committee for doing their job under the constitution needs to stop. If you don't like the way the TC is structured under the constitution, feel free to propose a GR to change that. But if all you (and certain others across various Debian lists) are going to do is attack the members of the TC for making a decision they've been asked to in the way that they believe is technically correct, then I invite you to be the next Debian Developer to leave and I promise you I will not mourn your departure. It's a shame that Tollef has decided to step down from the systemd maintenance team (http://lists.alioth.debian.org/pipermail/pkg-systemd-maintainers/2014-November/004563.html, which I believe is what you're referring to with your mail). I have great respect for his technical abilities and consider him to have been a key voice of sanity throughout this painful process, and I hope that he doesn't actually view this TC override as an attack on the systemd maintainers. I would point out that the majority of those who voted in favor of this latest resolution also voted for systemd as the default in jessie. This is not an act of systemd haters, this is the TC providing technical guidance when asked to do so; and if the TC comes to a different conclusion than a maintainer who is acting in good faith, that is not an attack on that maintainer. Whereas you, on the other hand, are way out of line with your comment. -- Steve Langasek Give me a lever long enough and a Free OS Debian Developer to set it on, and I can move the world.
