Note that we can easily flip that statement. Because in effect, *just* 
because you think it's necessary everybody *does* have to think so, 
regardless of whether it's actually security theater without tangible 
benefit or not.

I can't blame Jan for publicly reiterating that it's not. He did his 
part of what y'all agreed on despite his opinion that it's busywork. The 
ball's been in your court for a while now.

You know that's not true either.

Frankly, which other recourse does a DD have, in your opinion, if they 
think a team is obstructing what they see as a valuable contribution to 
Debian and the DPL (who arguably does have the authority to kick the 
whole FTP team out and appoint somebody else) doesn't want to put his 
foot down?
