I just looked at the TU Bylaws concerning TU removal http://dev.archlinux.org/~simo/TUbylaws.html#Removal and it looks like this discussion is not yet valid, for it says that
"A motion must be made by at least two active Trusted Users for the removal of a Trusted User."
AFAICS only one such motion has been made until now ...
The discussion period was started because of the "special case" and is meant to be "automatically triggered" anyway. Keep in mind that even if this discussion ends in a vote (which it looks like it won't) you're free to vote no, that's why it's a vote. After some of the replies I read yesterday I was feeling good about this thread and was hoping we could work something out where sergej lets go of at least some of his packages but it seems like that's not going to happen any time soon. Sergej, you're saying you're willing to give up some of your packages but you're doing it in a way that people won't want bother and where you still keep as many as possible, what is the deal? You're so dead set on keeping as many as possible but why? I know I'm also guilty of putting some probably unnecessary packages into community but how about we try work something out with the way we put new packages into community? At the moment TUs are allowed to put whatever they like into community without notice to anyone, perhaps this needs to stop and we need some order about how we do things? While we wouldn't need to be as stringent as the devs about this it might be a good idea that set up something like an email of packages we want in community as well as some grace period before that. Perhaps we need to start a new thread about this. I don't think I've seen that good of an argument yet as to why sergej should keep so many packages or why it is not a good idea to have orphans, even if it means a lot of them. Emailing sergej to see if you can grab a couple of packages is *not* the correct way to go about this, I don't want any and the reason I brought this up isn't because I'm jealous of what he has. Please, come up with some proper arguments instead of being so wishy-washy and backing both of us up. -- Callan 'wizzomafizzo' Barrett
