But what's the driving necessity to get this into policy in a
hurry? We can't use policy to bludgeon people into removing their
packages; that has to come from agreements reached with authors of
the packages themselves, from the DPL, or a general resolution.
We can then put this all into policy sometime in sarge, after
the dust has settled down, and the battle plan has actually made
contact with deployment and bug and the myriad strange systems out
there.
I have yet to see a reason for rushing into policy something
that is a proposed process, and not yet a documentation of tried,
stable, and current practice, Obviously, I am missing something.
