Well, I did my share that m68k could be released just fine, I think I
earned the right to "complain". It's now in the hands of those who made
this decision.
It's rather disappointing to see how anonymously to those decisions
constantly are refered to. This kind of behaviour I expect from some
shareholder corporation, where profit is everything and where employees
get told "it" has been decided, that they are not met their quota and get
kicked out.
I was kind of hoping that Debian would be different, that mutual support
had still some value. Since m68k has lost its release status, I have not
seen many offers to help in regaining that status. Once bugs lose the RC
critical status they lose a lot of attention. What makes this worse that
now that m68k could very well be in a releasable state, there is still no
helping hand and instead there is only insisting on release criteria,
which were unrealistic in the first place.
