I hope this is meant to read more like: |
| 9 |
|
| 10 |
"QA will take an active role in cleaning up unmaintained packages from |
| 11 |
the tree if they are severly broken or have open security issues." |
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
What i mean here is that unmaintained != broken (if it works, leave it |
| 15 |
be), and partially broken != unworthy to be in the tree, for example if |
| 16 |
nothing provides equal functions, why get rid of something that works |
| 17 |
for the most part, so unmaintained with some bugs just means maintainer |
| 18 |
needed, not "buhbye!" |
| 19 |
|
| 20 |
severly broken here would mean does not even compile, or gui comes up |
| 21 |
but most functions just create a segfault. |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
In short, i would like to see the above sentence changed to something a |
| 24 |
little less radical. (example provided) |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
Thanks |
