I think there is a difference between being tolerant about stuff which doesnt belong here, and accepting stuff because it belongs here.

Let me give you two (contradicting) answers to that: 1. Haven't we met? :-D 2. What is the meaning you once gave to CDD, where is it documented? And, isnt it possible that this meaning changes over time? Also I dont think there is agreement, where a CDD is or should be. Some say, a CDD must be 100% within Debian, others say, it's enough if this is the (not yet achieved) aim. Others even say, a CDD is any distribution based on Debian. I'm in the second camp. To me, a (official) CDD is a distribution, which aims to be 100% within Debian, whether this goal is achieved or not. Also, I personally see this list as a list for discussions about CDD development and about the tools useful for this. And as that I dont tolerate discussions about (for example) using simple-cdd to build whatever non-CDD someone has in mind, but I think this _exactly_ one of the things this list is for. Maybe it would be wise to introduce a new term, for Debian based distributions, which are not CDDs according to our definition. That would prevent us from using "(official) CDDs" and unoffical ones. So I suggest DBD (Debian Based Distributions) for those :-) What do you think? > I think even XYZ (without having no > meaning behind these letters at all) would be a better name. I disagree. Meaningful names are useful, not useless. > https://penta.debconf.org/penta/submission/dc8/event/239, > https://penta.debconf.org/penta/submission/dc8/event/242, > https://penta.debconf.org/penta/submission/dc8/event/243, > https://penta.debconf.org/penta/submission/dc8/event/244 and > https://penta.debconf.org/penta/submission/dc8/event/247 Those events are currently not visible to anyone execpt penta-admins and you. Could you post those proposals to the list, please? regards, Holger
