One can sense the frustration dripping from the thread. This feels like pretty aggressive communication ("frankly, I don't care", etc.)... it could've been a misunderstanding about what "removal from testing" means... In particular since the packages remain available in unstable, the argument raised about users paying the price isn't really valid.
- ldng 7y agoI think you're overreading it. Wanting to remove python2 dependancy now with the next Debian release as target (probably 2 year from now) seem reasonable to me. The aggressivity you perceive is to me just being firm. Refuse and push back any exceptions. The work has to be done, end of story. Personnally, I approve, otherwise it'll spiral down in nitpicking and special cases. Would not be the first time with Debian.
- marcosdumay 7y agoThere's this part: > If the package has still many users (popcon >= 300), or is needed to build another package which cannot be removed, document that by adding the "py2keep" user tag So they are not even that firm. Overall, it seems very well handled.
- stOneskull 7y agoI am impressed by the leadership. It needs to happen and it needs a firm leadership like this. No dilly-dallying. On with the job.
- ridaj 7y agoI agree it's the right call, my remark is only about the communication style (e.g. "frankly, I don't care") and how it comes off to an outsider to the community.
- nwmcsween 7y agoThere honestly should be zero frustration, a lot of this is ran by people volunteering time.
