On the other hand part of the reason things are so heated is that
there's no visible progress on resolving these issues and hasn't been
for quite some time. This is a problem which we've run into before in
Debian and so far the only thing I can think of that's had some sort of
success in reducing the heat in the discussion is visible activity on
resolving things.
This may mean that we just have to put up with the heat, of course.
