Re: Intend to revert golang-google-grpc in unstable

["Paul R. Tagliamonte" <paultag@gmail.com>]

Packages will be removed from experimental if it contains a newer version in unstable (a so called "NVIU" removal). 

Which is to say if someone uploads to experimental with a fix, and someone else uploads to unstable without that change but a huger version, the experimental package will be removed.

https://wiki.debian.org/ftpmaster_Removals has more.

We should find a collaborative team wide way forward here. Playing NMU games is not the best way forward here, we're all maintainers together.

Y'all should take a break for a day and why don't we come back to this with constructive ways forward? (Both of you :) )

I have already explained twice on IRC, but you just ignore it.
Nobody can kick packages.
You upload broken packages to experimental, and it FTBFS on buildd.
ftp-master just cleans these NBS semi-automatically.
The removal log is publicly accessible on ftp-master, please check yourself.
