Hi,

since the package version freeze is coming nearer (April, 20th), perhaps we 
should discuss the "tainted" issue once more.

What is our policy about "tainted packages"? It's quite clear we have to check 
every one of them, if they can be distributed by us, but do we have any 
guidlines?

What about packages, we need twice, once in core, once in tainted (media 
player come to mind)?
Will the buildsystem be able to create both out of one single src.rpm? If not, 
how else to do it?

Oliver
