Apologies for not seeing this earlier, just catching up on some old
mail that I have neglected :(.  I'm not sure that the Board needs to
make a policy for this sort of thing, it (hopefully) doesn't happen
often and can be dealt with on a case-by-case basis when it does.
Though reaching out earlier than the point that it becomes a crisis
would be helpful.

I think that this is an excellent idea, and had thought of the same
myself in this particular situation. Has anyone reached out to the
ambassadors to deal with the situation at hand?

I'm looking at a rawhide install right now with the man-pages-fr conflict :(
