7 I agree that it shouldn't be necessary. However, absent some policy
8 change, it might be necessary in the case of maintainers hostile to
9 systemd. Otherwise the maintainer will just revert the change and
10 hide behind the standing policy that maintainers basically have the
11 final say. That really isn't the intent of the current policy, but
12 that is basically what it boils down to.

14 What all of this really amounts to is a bunch of people who don't want
15 to work together trying to legally apply the rules to accomplish their
16 personal goals, whatever they may be.

18 Honestly, if the Council just said "we don't want to make this a
19 policy, but if systemd maintainers are willing to handle the bugs
20 package maintainers should let them add units because that is the
21 spirit of the existing policy" I'd be a lot happier.
