I am accepting private mail on the "purity" topic, but I don't think I will answer any more of it on the debian-devel mailing list. I don't want to repeat what material I objected to on the public list, and that's essential to the discussion at this point. Thanks Bruce -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to debian-devel-request@lists.debian.org . Trouble? e-mail to templin@bucknell.edu .
