I've imported the text to the wiki, as it might be easier to work with: http://wiki.debian.org/Teams/Ruby/Drafts/StateOfTransitionNewPolicy I tried to address the issue you raised by rewriting the paragraph between link 0: and 1:. (I left a mention the first bit about the statistics because it illustrates the discussion somehow). I also added a few words about gem2deb at the end of the introduction, just to say it exists, and it is a nice tool, not to discourage people before the end. I suggest that if there is no other comment or modification proposed, we (I?) send it to debian-devel in a week (Friday April, 20th, 22:00 UTC), because time runs fast, and there is a lot of work to do. What to you think? Best regards, Cédric
