    I certainly hope they'll choose C.

    What comprises “assistance?” Getting Claude Code to find bugs, suggest a fix, but a human actually editing the source files and testing the result - is that assistance? Perhaps this policy is as it says: a guiding principle that the community is expected to follow.

    i think the line is: expressing that you reputationally certify its correct and its worth the time

    I wonder what fraction of Trixie already violates this requirement of the first proposal...

    Curious what the "use" or "assistance" of LLM models means. I mostly use Gemini as a front-end to search Google without getting ads or SEO garbage, would that be forbidden?

    Interesting that this makes no distinction from using LLM output and using LLM assistance. An overly strict policy is better than no policy, but I wonder if using llm for conversation and analysis, but not code/config generation, was discussed.

    Good so Debian will die soon or later.

      Are you aware, that a very big chunk of Linux distributions like Ubuntu are build in top of Debian?

      Why do you want Debian to die?

      By Lindy effect, debian has a life expectancy of 25 more years
