Well, maybe we could avoid some bike-shedding. While Ian was too busy writing mails in capital letters, explaining how Debian should weigh in the IETF RFC drafting, upstream made a proper fix for IPv4, in a very sensible way, and the problem is gone (and yes we are considering backporting it to etch, though we missed by few the window for the next dot release, we will have to take the next one). And FWIW, I don't think TC failed to rule because of the majority rules, but just because the issue was technically not easy to solve at that time. If Ian had voted against he would have wanted to enforce the fair split as a "failed" vote instead given how passionate he was about the issue. -- ·O· Pierre Habouzit ··O madcoder@debian.org OOO http://www.madism.org
