Thank you! Hi Dee'Kej, you must be aware that there are hundreds of proven packagers doing hundreds of changes on hundreds of packages at various points in time. If you say neither which packages you have in mind, modified when, by whom, or for what purpose, you're very unlikely to reach the right people. I suggest that you list in a _calm_ technical manner some specific commits which you think shouldn't have been done under pp policy and why. Please note that aside from the part you quoted there are other rules which allow fairly significant actions to be taken by pps assuming certain procedures are followed, so it may all have been according to policy.
