Christian Aichinger introduces a plan to get rid of unnecessary package dependencies. "[U]nnecessary dependencies cause lots of problems, as they make transitions bigger then they need to be. The root cause are unnecessary libraries on the linker commandline, which get stored in the resulting binary and which dpkg-shlibdeps happily turns into inter-package dependencies."

The results for the Constitutional General Resolution concerning the handlings of assets has been approved. "At the end of voting, with 344 Ballots resulting in 266 votes from 266 developers, "Constitutional Amendment General Resolution: Handling assets for the project" has carried the day."
