I believe the question is if the nominees would be willing to support the ideas explained in this email. I feel it is appropriate to ask nominees for the DPL what they think about specific issues as well as if they would support specific actions/solutions to problems. At the time of this writing three people have expressed disapproval of the email Branden wrote. I have partially quoted one of them above, but the sentiments of the others are similar, saying that Branden’s email was either a waste of their time or inappropriate. My purpose with this response is just to say that I had the opposite reaction, which was his email was both worth my time and appropriate. -- Soren Stoutner soren@debian.org
