I'm not arguing against that. I agree with it. Please stop trying to |

hijack this and divert attention away from my point. I'm asking |

nicely :) |

I'm asking that you assume any support burden that you create. It only |

seems fair. |

If you're in an arch team, the package maintainer doesn't agree that the |
| 13 |
package should be stable, and you're not willing to take on the support |
| 14 |
for that package either, don't stabilise it. We shouldn't stabilise |
| 15 |
packages where no-one's willing to support it. |

That's all I'm asking for, to go into the GLEP. It's no big deal. If |
| 18 |
the arch team believe that know better than the package maintainer, then |
| 19 |
they must know enough to be able to support it, no? ;-) |
