 uep | what i will guess, since the author has apparently been waiting on feedback for a long while, is that everyone has just glazed over and not given definitive feedback that it's a bad idea | 01:47:59 |
| uep | unexpected and unusual, but i guess it could happen | 01:48:46 |
 hexa | nobody bothered to the first time either | 01:50:52 |
| hexa | it was only reverted because it broke eval | 01:51:12 |
 ElvishJerricco | it only reached my radar because I'm not a codeowner of the installer files | 01:51:57 |
| ElvishJerricco | but I would have objected the last time too | 01:52:04 |
| ElvishJerricco | I think they did something so that the PAM module only accepts keys as listed in the system config, but I didn't look to closely | 01:52:49 |

| hexa | so apparently we now have a github team that is authoritative for meta.categories changes | 01:53:23 |
| hexa | but none that is authoritative for nixos design decisions | 01:53:46 |
| uep | yeah, it seems to have a list of directories, so the keys must be there as well as accepted by the agent | 01:53:50 |
| hexa | * but none that is authoritative for nixos "the distro" design decisions | 01:54:56 |
| hexa | it is hard to imagine how such a change can fall through the cracks and land in a release, because nobody with an opinion was requested for review | 01:55:36 |

so apparently we now have a github team that is authoritative for meta.categories changes (I'm not even sure if there's some process we should have followed when making that team? But that's probably a discussion for another channel) | 02:09:49 |

| Tomodachi94 (they/them) | * (I'm not even sure if there's some process we should have followed when making that team? The RFC only mentioned that one should exist, not how it should be created, so we just added everyone who expressed interest.
But that's probably a discussion for another channel) | 02:11:12 |
| hexa | it is no specifically about that team | 02:11:40 |
| Tomodachi94 (they/them) | Yep, that's why I put it in parentheses and added "But that's probably a discussion for another channel" at the end | 02:12:14 |

but none that is authoritative for nixos "the distro" design decisions A UX team or similar could be interesting. At the least ensuring those core modules have maintainers/Codeowners could prevent something like that from happening again | 02:26:19 |

| hexa | it is not really about having maintainers for these modules | 02:26:44 |
| hexa | * it is not really about having a team stand in as maintainers for these modules | 02:26:51 |
| hexa | it is about guiding the coarse design choices of the user experience | 02:27:05 |
