24 Sorry to disappoint you. If you get me on council, I'm going to ask for
25 a recommendation and follow it unless it looks ridiculous. For the
26 GLEPs you mentioned, unless someone came forward otherwise, I'd approve
27 them out of hand. As for future EAPIs, that is not a council matter
28 that I can see. Why on earth can't that be done at the level of those
29 who care? I.e., people who implement package managers or want EAPIs.
30 It seems to me all we want is consistency, and council's job is to put
31 package manager people into a room and tell them not to come out until
32 they agree on something. If I'm a councilor, I really don't care what
33 that is.
34
35 I'll listen to what you want for future EAPIs, but I don't think it's
36 council's job to decide.

38 Regards,
39 Ferris
