Isee. Well, if you had read the message in -policy, which
people with ptoposals are supposed to, you would have seen the
substantive response.

This is not a bug in policy. It can be taken as a request to
amend policy -- and as such, needs to follow guidelines for policy

and I am closing this again.
If you wish to take an active role in policy determination,
perhaps you should learn about and follow the guidelines accepted by
this group to do so? The proposer is responsible for the proposal,
under curent workingof this group.
I understand you prefer a central authority figure, with total
control over policy matters (a policy czar, so to say). However, that
concentrates too much power in the central authority, shuts out
ocntrobutions from indiidual developers unless blessed by the powers
that be. and creates a dependency on that single person.
I would prefer a solution where the DPL may delegate one or
more people with power to step in, and break deadlocks; but retain
the deentralized mechanism we have now.
You report had been open for two whole years, with no action
being taken.
