Now I am mildly disturbed about this MBF. To be clear, it's not about
the intent - it's sad to see something go but I have to admit it's about
time for gtk2 - however the form and the timing are not in a way I'd
expect an MBF to be:
First, this message is somewhat vague about what the MBF should actually
be. From context I guessed it's about raising the bug severity to RC -
in my opionion it wouldn't hurt to make an explicit statement about
this. Also I'd include the text of the mails to be sent, a short
explanation what is happening and why, and what the options are. Not
everybody follows debian-devel closely.
Second, and even more confusing: The timing until actually raising the
bug severity. It was less then 24 hours - while there is no reason to
rush things.
For me, announcing an MBF here is an invitation to discuss. People
should have a chance to raise concerns, possibly there might also be
suggestions to improve the process. So at least several days between
announcement and action seems very sensible. The way things were done
here rather sends a message of "I'm doing things, I don't care what
other people think." This is not how we should drive the project. There
has already been enough stomping on my feet by developers with such an
attitude.
