I don't care about either model, I just don't want to see the *political* decision being made *outside* of EPEL. > >> I also strongly dislike the kind of voting -- the threads you > >> pointed to are much to confusing and have FUD and personal attacks > >> in it.

Please, Thorsten, we did set up a voting body to overcome situation like these w/o endless debates which will eventually all contain some flamesets or another. That is not to say we don't want discussion of things that come up for voting, but if it's been discussed ad nausea already we should spare ourselved the pain and proceed to finalizing it. And there are already mechanisms set into the voting procedure to avoid any sneaking in of stuff nobody knew about. That's certainly not the case here, most people know too much about these discussions to keep their lunch in their stomach and want to see us finalize things and move on. -- Axel.Thimm at ATrpms.net
