Letting alone the package in particular (I don't even know it, nor do I care), I wonder where you'd draw that line. As you say yourself: There are lots of alternative packages in the archive already. So, what makes all the other alternatives acceptable but this one not? What makes 42 window manager acceptable but not 43? > There isn't even any point waiting for such packages to get RC bugs to > be able to remove them. Stop them getting in in the first place. I'm not in favor to get yet another window manager in Debian. All I'm saying is that filing a WNPP bug and wait whether a people complain loud enough is not the way to learn that. Especially since a WNPP bug complaints are not worth that much. If you happen to find a DD to upload your stuff or you are DD yourself, you can silently ignore any comments if you like and upload nonetheless. That's how we end up with 42 display manager. Complaining on the 43th is not the way to go. Moreover, would you be a well respected Debian Developer today if your replies to your first WNPP bug (if you filed any, I don't know) back then told you to go away, nobody appreciates your work? -- with kind regards, Arno Töll IRC: daemonkeeper on Freenode/OFTC GnuPG Key-ID: 0x9D80F36D
