    I still get the feeling that any exercise of governance or oversight
    is Debian is widely regarded as cataclysmic.  I have been criticised
    here and in #1107137, as if my requests were unreasonable or obviously
    beyond the pale.  This is very uncomfortable for me, and this kind of
    thing is hardly going to encourage others to try to resolve
    longstanding problems using our official processes.

    So I would appreciate at the very least some explicit recognition that
    my requests to to the TC, in this bug, were appropriate.
    Speaking with my TC hat on: Yes, I believe they were absolutely
    appropriate, and I find it unacceptable to insinuate anything else. This
    does not mean that everyone has to agree with you, of course, but the TC
    is the place to settle technical disagreements such as this one.

    FTR, I agree with Timo here.

    I think that with the pending changes in dpkg, and policy discussion (to
    make policy match the previous TC resolution) happening on -policy,
    there is no need for this TC bug to be kept open any more?

    Regards,

    Matthew
