</I>>><i> The consensus was maybe not so clear then.
</I>><i>
</I>><i> Maybe not so clear for those whose opinion differs from the consensus,

</I>
My opinion does not differ from the "consensus":
- I don't have a strong opinion on this
- I just did not see a clear consensus after carefully re-reading all
the thread (from the beginning of the month) yesterday
>>><i> Sorry if it is too offending for one or the other if I call this
</I>>>><i> procedure "ridiculous".
</I>>><i>
</I>>><i> Where do you see a procedure here? :-)
</I>>><i> Offer one if you think that's needed.
</I>><i>
</I>><i> Ah, in case you have missed all those mails in the devel list:
</I>><i> 1. The issue was brought to the attention of the people, including the
</I>><i> developers.
</I>><i> 2. The issue has been discussed at length including mantra-like repetitions.
</I>><i> 3. Several people suggested the same solution (we did not start a poll
</I>><i> but to me it looked like a large part of the participants of the
</I>><i> discussion). If I am wrong here then all others who saw it like me are
</I>><i> wrong as well
</I>><i> 4. All it needed now was action according to that consensus.
</I>><i>
</I>><i> This is what I call a procedure and how issues have been treated many
</I>><i> times. May be your definition is different.
</I>
What I call a procedure is a documented way of doing things before we
actually do them :-)
><i> After the discussion reached this state everybody waited for action,
</I>><i> which may have ver well have been delayed because of other more
</I>><i> important work. That was the subject/contents of the opening mail and
</I>><i> first answers of this thread. Until somebody started to open the
</I>><i> discussion again.
</I>><i>
</I>><i> Another option would have been to bring the issue to the council after
</I>><i> the first discussion ended but I haven't yet read any mail about such
</I>><i> a move during the months since then.
</I>><i> Is that what you were waiting for?
</I>
If things don't move on, yes, we should bring this to the council.
>><i> It could be up to the council or board to chose the lesser evil between:
</I>>><i> - picking tainted for non-free + tainted packages like faac, and thus
</I>>><i> forbid mirroring tainted packages that are only free-software
</I>>><i> (but maybe that's the hypothetical 'selective mirror admin' from Guillaume)
</I>><i>
</I>><i> yes, you've been calling those existing mirror maintainers
</I>><i> "hypothetical" before. Very good argument. If I don't like something I
</I>><i> just pretend it isn't there.
</I>
This looks like a misunderstanding, again.
The hypothetical selective mirror admin was about an admin selectively
picking sub-trees (free, non-free) of PLF.
Do you know of any admin doing this?
