Reading yesterday's minutes I had understood that you would post a
"proposal" to these list, not a "decision". I mean, I had the impression
that this was still under discussion.

Please don't. This could very easily be mistaken for a way to tell the
community that they are not needed, while the truth is that a lot of N-L
projects have already approved their builds explicitly, and as shown by
yesterday's figures there are as many approved builds for OOo 3.2.1 in
its entire lifespan as for OOo 3.3.0 in less than two weeks. So I don't
see a need for this.

OK, then I'll promptly use this veto power! Actually, this will be
enough for me and it could be enough for other N-L teams too; after all,
it's important that N-L teams have a say and less important whether the
default behaviour is to release or not to release.

Please do not distribute any Italian builds or language packs other than
the ones mentioned in
