Encoding the process down to the nitty gritty details is what discouraged people to actually do the work in the first place. I'm glad that Don's amendment doesn't do that, and, who knows, it might even encourage people to get things done, finally. > I have now voted against GR 2016/vote_002 because it allows declassification of > anything ever posted on debian-private against the authors' will. But do we really think that's what is going to happen? Can't we trust the listmasters to respect the privacy that they have upheld for the last 10+ years? Why is it so hard to trust the people who actually want to do the work to come up with a sensible process? > I hope that everyone fully realizes that before voting. And I hope that, at one point, we as a project will learn to trust one another and stop micro-managing people that actually want to get things done. Bye, -- Nicolas Dandrimont
