just to clarify my point: I am all for critical feedback,
preferably in a friendly and constructive manner. To read it on a
public mailinglist constitutes both a waste of bandwidth (as
hundred of people who are not involved in your personal
improvement also read it and it most likely also destroys trust
which one needs to work together further down the road.Resolving
personal conflicts and trying to help someone to improve as a
person/leader/whatnot should happen privately rather then
publicly on mailinglists.
Awareness of public appearance IS important for the DPL or a DPL
board, as what ever they say will and can be picked up by the
press and will fall back on debian as a whole. To have a public
infighting committee acting as Debian's board is a reciept for
desaster and not going to help to inspire trust in users.
