From my perspective it should be a consensus based decision. At this point, if I recall correctly we had just as many people opposed as in favor. So we could say this is where ideas go to die. But again I think trying to find a cross distro solution might help convince those that are currently opposed.
If the goal is to always reach 100% consensus
No, and I didn't set that as goal.
then no change will ever happen.
I agree 100% consensus is not attainable. My thoughts are along the lines that in any such discussion the majority of people (maintainers) will not voice their opinion. This should be interpreted as, they don't care about this particular topic, from my point of view. Those that make an effort to respond, care, and it should be possible to find majority consensus among those. For this specific issue I don't think we have reached majority consensus yet.
Well, it's pretty cumbersome to count voices in a mail thread. By counting manually I get this:
- Eight people commented, asked questions or discussed something else where I couldn't identify a clear pro or con. - Sascha does not seem to be against the proposal as long as the review team is not bothered and there are exceptions possible. - Christian and Robert are against it but for different reasons.
I am not opposed to the solution per se, I am opposed of inventing a solution without seeking consensus across distributions and am willing to put in the work to seek the consensus, thus I am pushing the route via the LSB working group. If no distribution consensus can be found I agree that we should solve the issue and eliminate the potential security problem with overlapping names. BTW, thanks for yuo comment son the Github pull request.
