It's hardly a "glaring omission" that we don't list *explicitly*: * we don't want reiser4-specific reports * we don't want Ubuntu installation reports * we don't want installation reports about other modified images You're reading the "Installation Guide for Debian", not the "Installation Guide for every unofficial user-modified version of Debian". The docs are meant to describe how to install Debian using Debian's installer - is that not obvious? >That clarification will prevent other individuals -- who have >downloaded the netboot installer from SourceForge -- from potentially >reporting via the debian mechanism -- once the installation completes. > >Additionally, appending “we don't need reiser4-specific reports” will >be a welcome *explicit* change in policy from other FOSS projects, >like GNU Parted, where the unspoken censorship on reiser4 bites anyone >who submits patches in support of the >'Batman Machine': Reiser4 >< https://metztli.it/readOnlyEphemeral/Batman_Machine-Reiser4.pdf > I understand that you're working on reiser4 stuff and you'd like to publicise it - that's cool and I hope it's working well for you!
