[...] Hi Steve, while I really appreciate both your technical work and expertise as well as your personal care for Debian, this mail didn't go down well with me, for two reasons: - It sounds unnecessarily aggressive to me with threats and recourse to positions (TC), statements ex cathedra (e.g. "by definition"), and killer phrases (e.g. "empty words"); - regarding the contents, IMO you're painting the issue a bit too black-or-white; I think there's neither a common understanding what "hijacking" actually means nor a one-answer-fits-all-situations answer on this issue. I'd like to kindly ask you to join a common endeavour to come closer to a better handling of the recurring tensions between strong maintainership on the one hand and improving our distribution on the other hand. Cheers, gregor, just wanting to give a feedback -- .''`.
