Yo all!
Seeing this discussion wander in many directions, please consider what is
acutally under discussion here:

- Debian is invited to participate in the LCC
- Debian does not, at this time, have to commit to anything at all,
whatever the output of the LCC is.
Looking just at this, it seems - to me - more or less obvious that Debian
should participate in this project, if there is manpower available to do
so.
Any 'Debianisms' that get pushed into LCC will lower the work ISVs have to
do to support their applications on Debian.
Any LCCisms that get accepted into Debian (for whatever reason) will do the
same.
Any output of LCC that some affected package maintainer does not like, he
may ignore. (Having sound reasons may help keeping the discussions short,
though :^)
Whether Debian should or should not strive to be an LCC compliant
distribution is not under discussion right now. The same goes for all the
other 27 topics that are being discussed in this thread.
(Hmm. Shouldn't this actually be under discussion on -project instead of
here?)
thanks for listening

the first 2h after them having been sent out? ;-)
