The Mageia-dev ML is the current official packagers ML, such packaging
discussions are supposed and expected to happen here.

&gt;<i> Don't get demotivated by the nay-sayers that commented on your initial

</I>&gt;<i>
</I>&gt;<i>
</I>
This looks like coercing other packagers into adapting your point of
view &quot;if you don't agree with my POV then you're not an open community
distro&quot;; I don't like that attitude one bit.

In any distro there're rules and guidelines that should be followed
(look at Debian for example); being a community distro doesn't mean
anyone gets a free reign to do whatever he wants whenever he wants.

Note that Michael is discussing the issue, he didn't make final
decisions. If you have a productive argument to make please do so,
otherwise please refrain from calling other peoples' posts &quot;silly&quot; (or
&quot;non-sense&quot; judging from your other posts on the ML).
