I know Sven form the debian lists to be a very knowledgable debian  
developer and participant on the powerpc branch. There has been some  
very disputable infighting on wich I was unable and unwiling to 'take  
sides' since _both_ sides showed annoying behavior that only helped  
to fuel the fight. If any 'banning' should follow from that period, a  
whole bunch of debian devs would have to banned which seems  
rediculous to me.

I see no reason to ban Sven completely from any debian lists and vote  
for the ban to be lifted.
