yes, it was me who proposed it (watch my dc20 talk! :) and who still
thinks it's a good idea. sadly I didn't have the time to start the
discussion in a bug (I only came to this conclusion the day before the
talk, though I have thought about this for the last 5 years) and I 
probably still won't have the time until next week. (*)

I'd appreciate we'd use a bug for discussing this, so whatever the outcome
will be, we'll have a canonical and truely long living url to reference the
discussion.

thanks.

(*) so the blame for not discussing this in a bug right now in the first
    place, goes to me. hooray.

similarily, I don't think an internal Debian discussion immediatly belongs
on the rb-general list... I do believe we have these two distict lists
for a reason :)

also, I will not share my thoughts about Guillem's and Chris' reply
here (and *now*), before I had the opportunity to put the reasoning
behind my thoughts in a bug report. And I'd hope my thoughts why are laid
out clearly in my talk available at

	https://meetings-archive.debian.net/pub/debian-meetings/2020/DebConf20/49-reproducing-bullseye-in-practice.webm

finally, I'm sorry if I come accross harsh. I feel pressured and misunder-
stood and that I need to react now. I wish I felt different.

cheers,
	Holger

That morning, the young barista woman told me that a customer came in with a
mask, but not wearing it. When she asked the customer to put on her mask
please, the woman said: "Why? There's no-one in here."
