I've talked to Ulrich about this issue. Besides, I'm talking to
Richard Stallman too.
I think that there's unfortunate discommunication here.
I agree with Ulrich and Mark, there's already some cooperation in
effect, and we don't see the reason why we need the committee.
Furthermore, I support current development style of GNU C library, ---
one person (with helps of others) eventually make the technical
decision) ---, as it's very important to keep the library sane and
consistent, say, fighting against pressures from kernel,
distributions, and applications.
But let's stop blame Richard here, it's not fair.
Well, I don't like the discussion who "control" which. However, I
could understand Free Software Foundation would have some requests to
GNU C library development. I don't think there's some specific
technical request. Just my guess, there's concerns for manual prints,
WWW page maintenance for the software, preparation of release of
CD-ROM, copyrights and license issues, and such.
My proposal is:
(1) Keep current development style. Ulrich make technical decision
for GNU C Library development.
(2) Fill the gap between us and FSF. I, for myself, work for that.
Listen from FSF or Richard, and think about it, work for
solution on non-technical issues.
