they are the equivalent documents for two different distros describing
the respective targets...

in my view it is political and i dont see that desaster you two evoke
with your warnings ... we were 8 MOTUs in hoary and it worked, we are 35
MOTUs now and i still fail to see the desaster ... what i saw was a
period during this development cycle where everybody stopped working for
a week or two and all that was going on were discussions about the
processes ... 
if debian wants to have flame wars, let them, i joined ubuntu for
exactly the reason to not have these flame wars ... and i dont see a
reason why they should soak in to ubuntu ... 
we have < 200 packages left that need touching in universe and imho this
is the number of packages that could have been fixed while everybody was
distracted by flamewars going on in another distro (especially since
thats not the first time debian had flamewars about this topic and it
didnt distract us that last few times it came up, since nobody actively
carried it to ubuntu... if i want to participate in it, i'll subscribe
to debian-devel)... 

ciao
