Let me be clear on this: From what I understand, the rule as written |
| 15 |
prevents unofficial overlays from using certain fields in bugzilla. |
| 16 |
It says nothing about the status of the project(s) behind such |
| 17 |
overlays. So the argument that this should not apply to the java team |
| 18 |
because the project is still official, and sunrise is not, is bogus. |
| 19 |
This ruling applies to overlays, not projects. |

I hate to put it to you this way, but if you give people an inch, |
| 31 |
they'll take a mile. Yes, political correctnes is unproductive. This |
| 32 |
is why decisions like the one made here need to be thought out better |
| 33 |
before being made. But once the decision is made, it should be |
| 34 |
applied equally, or not at all. |
| 35 |
|
| 36 |
As for the decision that led to this mess, I'd like to see it on the |
| 37 |
agenda for the next Council meeting. I really don't agree with it (or |
| 38 |
rather the way it was worded), and I can see others don't either. |
| 39 |
Unfortunately, I don't know if I have the authority to request this, |
| 40 |
since I'm not a dev. |
