Thank you Matthew for your perspective. Regarding your two conditions: 1) Broader discussion I agree this is needed. I note that some of the committee's deliberation happened privately, which may have limited the range of perspectives considered so far. Would it be possible to move the remaining discussion to a public venue to gather wider input? 2) Explicit maintainer statement In the original bug #1124968, Michael wrote: > I wont argue any more here, there's no point. > If you feel the default [...] should be changed, please ask the security team or a technical committee. This read as a clear refusal to act. However, Michael's subsequent message in this thread (#17) concluded that "unbound should not enable the resolvconf hook by default," aligning with my position. His current stance is therefore unclear, and I think hearing from him directly would help everyone. Michael, could you clarify your current position? One additional point I'd like to raise a question I haven't seen addressed: what was the original justification for enabling this hook by default? The script itself notes it was disabled for several releases before being re-enabled. If there was no broad user demand for this change, while introducing the privacy and security concerns discussed here, that would be a strong argument for reverting to the previous default. I hear Matthew's point about collaboration, and I appreciate the committee's time on this. I'll keep my contributions constructive going forward. LRob
