As always in Debian, the result of the voting was found using the Condorcet method."

So what if they elect a lesbian project leader? It's 2014, get over it.

Briefly, but usually the masterminds behind the revolution maneuver themselves into the position of being the replacement government, and things rapidly devolve into pretty much the original situation.

I have not heard of Lucas Nussbaum or Neil McGovern before, but if retaining Lucas Nussbaum at the helm means Debian will continue to release what is IMO the best Linux server distribution out there, then there are no complaints from me.

I worked at the same place as lucas in the past. Clearly he knows his stuff and knows to deal with complex situations. He did a lot for QA in Debian.

I wholeheartedly agree. Also, McGovern puts the -Mc in Govern, so he's probably the man for the job.

Alas Senator McGovern, in his counter-scientific war on fat, has probably killed more Americans than any war.
Don't take the McGovern name as a true test of good governance.

Rumor has it they'll be upgrading to the 2.2 kernel series before too long.
I jest, I jest -- jeezus! Debian folks have no self-deprecating sense of humor.

did they reveal the conclusion of their decision by sending white smoke up the chimney?

Pretty much, but there was no chimney, just Sid and a bunch of broken things being put out of their misery, and the magic smoke was blue.
