I don't think the average developer is really in a good position to |
7 |
resolve this - it will just create a whole lot of fuss and who knows |
8 |
if it will come to the right resolution. If it really doesn't matter |
9 |
than save a lot of fuss and flip a coin. |

If it does matter then the maintainers of the media-video herd should |
12 |
resolve this That's generally where the affected packages are, but |
13 |
they should of course call for comments from reverse dependencies |
14 |
after suitably framing the issue. |

If anybody feels that isn't going anywhere or isn't going in the right |
17 |
direction and that something needs to change, they can always ask the |
18 |
council to take it up. They're not really the ideal ones to get |
19 |
involved and will probably want somebody to make a really good case |
20 |
for why they should step in. However, if there really is a need for |
21 |
some kind of democratic vote at least the problem becomes properly |
22 |
informing seven people and not 200. |
