I kind of hate that this is going to live on as some example when the actual event was somebody proposing it, it failing in some builds on testing, and then a vote deciding against it. It was an example of good project governing preventing breakage, but for some reason it's already being remembered as the opposite.
- tux3 5y agoThe Technical Committee had to step in and vote, so in that sense the last resort worked. But a good migration is a quiet migration. When internal Debian discussions reach the user's stderr and causes builds to fail, the system has failed. There's only two ways to remember this sort of kerfuffle. Not at all, or as a lesson in deprecating things smoothly.
- Taywee 5y agoDidn't that only happen in testing? Isn't that the point of a testing release?
