After reading the foofaraw over the word "out", I took the time to read Joey Hess' abdication message and then the Debian Constitution that seems to be the center of his complaints. I am sorely confused. I have been using Debian for over 15 years and have seen Hess' name associated with an unbelievable number of projects. His worth to the Debian development effort can not be overstated. But after reading the Debian Constitution, I wonder what is really wrong. I find the document somewhat convoluted but doubt that I could do any better. Without a document that carefully outlines the rights and responsibilities of the participants in an endeavor of this size, the whole development effort would sink into chaos. Could it be a simple case of burnout?On Fri, 11/7/14, Carl Fink <carl@finknetwork.com> wrote: Subject: Re: Joey Hess is out?

Those were his very own words that were used in the subject: " . . . I wish everyone well, but I'M OUT." So your comment is just plain stupid IMO. golinux
Maybe a discussion of why such a valuable member of the community would throw in the towel would be more productive.
