The meta issue here is who decides policy for Planet Debian, and how that is done. This is important for the current case as well: the controversial blog post is dates March 30, the change to require suitability for 12-year-olds is from March 31, and the wiki change was made by the author of the blog post. I'm not aware of any public discussion of the change, before the change happened, but perhaps I've just found it. I admit I have a hard time trusting a policy defined in a wiki page that anyone can change. It seems quite weird to me to apply the DebConf Code of Conduct to Planet Debian. I don't who said what to whom, when, or how, to make that be the conclusion. It would be good, I think, to have policy discssions on public mailing lists. I don't currently have a comment on the suitability for Planet Debian of the post in question. Russ raises excellent points. -- I want to build worthwhile things that might last. --joeyh
