FWIW, my own feeling is that it's good if the T&S questions include some
"advanced skills" items that not everyone will be able to answer, and which
don't hurt their eligibility. I think this is much more useful, to the AM
and to the NM, because it probes the limits of the NM's abilities instead of
just establishing that they meet the baseline requirements.
I agree with this as well. In addition, the NM questions are not only meant to
probe your abilities, but also teach you things that you don't already know.
Even if one has been active in Debian for some time, there are so many areas in
this vast project that there's always something new to learn. All of you who
are going through NM, or plan to one day, should keep this in mind. The
questions aren't meant to be hostile, but to help everyone involved, including
you.
