Um, sort of? The council exists mainly to make cross-project decisions. |
| 9 |
I suppose that this issue counts, since it involves both the baselayout |
| 10 |
folks and the GDP, but the GDP doesn't really care which logger is |
| 11 |
installed by virtual/logger, as long as they know when it changes. As |
| 12 |
such, I would say that it's up to the package maintainers (base-system) |
| 13 |
to make that decision. Oh, I suppose that if base-system were to choose |
| 14 |
poorly, and large numbers of devs were upset, then the council would get |
| 15 |
involved, but this issue just doesn't seem that contentious. I've heard |
| 16 |
lots of people state that they would rather have logger "foo" as the |
| 17 |
default, but those same people will just shrug and install their |
| 18 |
favorite if foo isn't chosen. It's just not that big a deal. |
| 19 |
If the council chooses to address this issue I'm hardly going to |
| 20 |
complain, but I don't really think that it's worth their time. |
