Drafting a resolution on this:
Whereas
1. The technical committee was asked to overrule the decision of the
isdnutils maintainer to remove the creation of devices (see #698556).
2. There is a tested patch ready to use available.
3. The bug in question is considered release critical by the release
team.
4. In spite of being asked, the maintainer didn't comment on this
request.
5. Considering the current time plan, we don't expect to have other
ways to create devices nodes (i.e. via kernel changes and udev) in
time for the next stable release.
The Technical Committee
1. Decides to overrule the decision of the maintainer of isdnutils to
remove the creation of device nodes
2. Authorizes Christoph Biedl to undo the change with an upload to
unstable earliest an week after the decision, unless the maintainer
uploads an revert faster.
3. Asks the release team to allow the fixed package to move to
testing for the next stable release.
(With the obvious alternative resolution "further discussion" as
always)
