Re: About the role of the Release (again)



IMHO, the first thing to debate if we are willing to expand our role and
scope, assuming that is what the Foundation members want us to do. If we
are, then let's ask the community if that is what they want. If not, we
should document with more detail what we are, what we do, and how far we
will go on our duties. I mention "how far" because that was raised by
Colin on our meeting here at GUADEC with the specific example of bluez
migration.

We have been quite a  bit more active in setting direction, in the
past year. Big decisions:

- replacing fallback mode by classic mode
- wayland

I have personally be involved in turning both of these from decisions
into reality, by publicising the decisions, providing resources,
organizing meetings, etc.  So, I think we've followed the mandate from
last years AGM pretty well.

I have the impression that the current discussion is about unhappiness
in certain circles with decisions that have been made in individual
modules. I have zero interest in turning the release team into a
commit police, and I'm not going to participate in that kind of
activity.
