We had some discussion on that on IRC. Basically, if there are technical
problems with the policy or one of the tools, please bring them up.
My current understanding is however, that people agree enough now. If
that is corrcet, we should go forward using the new tools. I would like
to see the new python2.3/2.4/python-central going to testing before
changes occur that could delay that, but that's rather a footnote (and
should only delay by a few days). It is still possible to review the
situation in 6 months or so and deprecate one of the tools.
Raphael, it might be a good idea to make a better visible summary of the
status somewhere (and also of the new policy and of the changes). If you
think I could be a help, I would be willing to help there.
Cheers,
Andi
