It's really quite simple. Thanks to devrel's habit of making nasty |
14 |
threats to any developer who upsets a user, it's now necessary to post a |
15 |
message like this indicating that the issue was discussed before |
16 |
implementation. A sensible post might imply that I find these kinds of |
17 |
restrictions acceptable, and that I'm happy to sit around and watch the |
18 |
distribution be ruined by debian-style bureaucracy (anyone else see the |
19 |
hotbabe mess?). |

Anyway, I now consider my ass to be sufficiently well covered, and I've |
22 |
yet to see any coherent objections, so I've gone ahead with the commit. |

If you don't like it, feel free to not use it. |
