Today's Debian technical committee resignation: Ian Jackson

Yeah, there were moments in this debate in which Ian went nonlinear.

But there were also moments in which he was level-headed. For obvious reasons, these tend to not be as visible.

People are not perfect. We cannot divide people into Incorruptible Pure Pureness and Complete Monster buckets.

We should cherish the good Ian has done, and leave behind any bad he has done. One day, we will all look back to this and say, "how silly have we been!"
