Decision time: Are SCG the steward of the kernel as proposed?

Hi fellow Guides! When I just wrote the "monthly status report" I realized that we haven't really decided about "giving" SCG the Stewardship of the kernel. Of course, we guides are by no means "dictators" but we do have a responsibility to move discussions into decisions and after reading through this thread (the post from Alexandre Bergel felt like the "official request" from SCG) it looks to me that everyone is in favour of this arrangement. So someone needs to "hit the club in the desk", or whatever you call it. We talked a bit about what being a Steward means and we more or less came to the conclusion that we don't want to set any rules at this point. It is better to move ahead and learn. The only "guideline" that Andreas mentioned would be that as a Steward you simply need to be "more careful" when evolving the package - you obviously have much more dependents maintaining something in the kernel. What we all wanted was some form of charter from SCG what they plan etc but I think we have a pretty good picture already and it probably will not affect the decision here - which is more a question of trust in their capability and motives. :-) So, just to move forward one step: Can we Guides agree to give SCG this Stewardship? I vote yes. Let us all (us Guides that is) reply to this post so that we get a full count (6) and then we can make it "official", unless of course someone is against or still have things to discuss in which case we will just have to discuss further. regards, Göran
