I suspect you missed the post that would fit about here [1.1] in the timeline where you agreed that groups should be removed and hence others probably thinking they had a consensus and starting to do the work in yast etc which was completed some 12 months back

So, the fact that Jan agreed back then was taken as an indication that "consensus" had been reached? Seriously?
The fact that "nobody complained on the mailing list" does _not_ imply consensus. Of course, "consensus" is not required on stuff like this, some solid majority would be enough. But I doubt that this majority exists, either.
In openSUSE development this is exactly how it works. If you would like to propose a distro wide change you do so here, it gets discussed and once some form of consensus is reached the people wishing to make the change are free to do so. The changing package guideline process similarly follows this although to reflect our current way we are using these too lists it probably should also be updated to mention discussion should happen here rather then the packaging list https://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Packaging_guidelines_change_process Cheers -- Simon Lees (Simotek) http://simotek.net Emergency Update Team keybase.io/simotek SUSE Linux Adelaide Australia, UTC+10:30 GPG Fingerprint: 5B87 DB9D 88DC F606 E489 CEC5 0922 C246 02F0 014B
