Re: XFree86 4.3.0 and testing (was: when will the release release)
Let's go back to debian-x only. I don't think we need to pester the other
mailing list anymore.

Ok. I just want to have a clear picture of the situation, since we are a
team and we should work as such I think certain decisions (like X or Y
should be handled in this way for this reason) should be agreed before
rather than after.

We all have opinions, neither i say that we need to accept everything from
everyone, but upon a rejection I like to see a good explanation that makes
'stupid' a certain suggestion.
> The RM position is all yours if Branden agrees.
This is where imho you miss the point. It is OUR decision who has to take
the position as RM inside OUR team. Noone until now has been stepping
forward and say: "hey i would like to take that responsability".
Now we are in the exactly the other situation with 2 candidates. I
believe that XFS should publically decide who can fit better that
position and with XFS i also mean our users and not just us.
