Well, please tell me what other choice i have ?
And anyway, this is not like what you mean. This is the exact same
symptom of all what is being discussed here, and that is that it is
impossible for some random developer to have a discussion about some
such stuff started with the folk who have the full control over if it
will ever happen or no.
The above case is symptomatic of it. The email i sent was cool, and i
asked on how the kernel team could help make the new kernel version NEW
processing easier for the ftp-masters, and i never got an answer on
this, neither expect to get one.
But denying that there is a problem, like some did, or being upset about
people being upset and going public about it, like other did, is not a
solution.
And again, this is something that goes beyond just the inclusion of the
amd64 port or NEW queue processing, it is a general disease of the
debian project.
