No nanny maintainers, please. This question is not about features, but about the fact that this effectively incorporates something as default which would otherwise be frowned upon for something in Debian's "main" repository. "Pocket" is a non-free service. Having said that, we do have other packages in main which talk to a non-free service; e.g., there's some facebookchat plugin for some chat programs (I forgot which). This is no different. So while I understand Luke's concern, given Debian's current practices there is no reason to reject this functionality. -- It is easy to love a country that is famous for chocolate and beer -- Barack Obama, speaking in Brussels, Belgium, 2014-03-26
