It's argueably the most important right that is reserved for developers but it does not necessary stand to reason that it should be reserved only for those who engage in development. I'd like to see those who have made long-term, sustained, and significant contributions to Debian enfranchised. That could mean broadening the category of developer through changes to NM or it could also mean another enfranchised category of contributor. That's what I read as the argument at the core of this thread -- but perhaps I was just projecting. Regards, Mako -- Benjamin Mako Hill mako@debian.org http://mako.cc/
