I concur. And I plan on working on a policy, with plenty of input from real debian developers since I'm not one yet, but have been using debian for many years and have commented on and off for a few. I hope I have enough experience to have enough of a core to be useful for real dd's (and I am planning on becoming one, but I need to work on packages with and sponsored by other developers first). I'm not waiting to I get the seal of dd to try to do useful stuff. Regards, Daniel -- And that's my crabbing done for the day.
