I think I have covered that both in my writeup and in my response to
Ben. I think this work should be accepted as is.
I think this is probably the last package I am contributing to main line.
Never liked dancing that much ;)
But seriously, we should find other ways to encourage people. I wonder
how many packages are out there that never find their way into guix or
much too late. I wonder how much duplicate work is going on because of
our dance requirement. If it this hard *with* my experience in
packaging, how hard do you think it is for people *without*
experience. I know Dennis, for example, is sitting on a heap of opencl
packages which are incredibly useful to many people.
I believe we have to change our ways.
