As the DEP is not yet in a state that it should be accepted, I don't think it's appropriate to ask the Policy maintainers to tie the timeline of the 3.9.3.0 Policy release to the DEP bugfixing. Nor is it appropriate for you to declare that modifications to the DEP "now follow the [Policy modification process]". Per my discussion with Lars, and as indicated in his previous mail, I will continue to follow the DEP process on debian-project to get bugfixes applied to DEP5 and will ask the policy maintainers to sync with the DEP when I am satisfied that the language is correct. (Note that I have no intention of driving any further changes to the *format*, but the existing *language* is too ambiguous for something that's supposed to be a machine-readable standard.) -- Steve Langasek Give me a lever long enough and a Free OS Debian Developer to set it on, and I can move the world.
