My "in the end you can only accept it" was meant as a "in the end, you can only accept people as they are" - in direct reply to slender's "Why would anyone promote to extras-testing if he/she would not want to eventually go to extras?". obviously, there's developers out there who put packages into -testing without *really* wanting them to be promoted to extras. i cannot understand it but this is what i have to accept.

speaking of what we have to accept:

from a community point of view - and an end users point of view - i'm 100% on your side. we needn't and mustn't accept developers breaking the rules and getting away with it.

this one example made me think, though. i want the packages in extras, they're important. i first thought testing means judging. then i thought it means judging and helping with little details. now i wonder if it maybe also includes convincing. finding acceptable compromises.

i didn't vote the package down. didn't vote it up, either. i really don't know what to do at the moment.
