... As I said in a previous email i'm still waiting for a full detailed proposal email for the new tags and then people can start to provide feedback or object, but as everyone agrees there is enough issues with the current system that it needs replacing, if people agree to some form of replacement then what we do in between with the existing data that has lots of flaws is another question. There is already multiple people suggesting that its at the point that it should be scrapped and start again.
while I have to admit, that Group: admission needs care, I never saw any announcement by anyone that "common understanding has changed".
This really comes down to *who* is driving such changes? Nobody told us about anything which is driving _automagic_ removal of the Group: element from any of the packages, full stop!
This is *not* what a committee is about, ie. *not* telling everybody, what they/someone has silently decided...
Well I work in SUSE's packaging team and even I have no idea what committee your talking about, I have never heard of such a committee related to anything like that. But the intention to remove groups was made by people who thought they had a consensus for atleast the last year.
_consensus_ - obviously not visible to this list here. Otherwise we wouldn't be discussing the silent removal enforced by someone... :INIT Jan reported that it happened :LOOP Lots of arguments, pro and con, were raised again :BREAK_IF_WE_COULD_HAVE_SEEN_WHY: Nothing, other than the same arguments, but not, why someone decided to DO it! :GOTO LOOP :WHY Again, no reference to a publicly made decision Clear now?
