And then you wonder why i feel a little upset ? As a fellow release assistant, I agree with Colin Watson's position that there is no pressing reason to remove packages from the archive while their license status is still being discussed, or while a clarification is being sought from upstream, if those packages are already in stable. Moreover, even after sarge is released, packages can still be removed from main in a point release. So please stop trying to use the upcoming sarge release as a shield against open and frank discussion about the problems with the QPL. If the ultimate conclusion is that the QPL is not free, any time you've spent trying to delay examination of this license can only hurt ocaml's chances of remaining in the archive. -- Steve Langasek postmodern programmer
