Debian 5 release approaches… binary blobs included

The election was managed by Debian secretary Manoj Srivastava, who resigned in response to allegations of mismanagement and ballot irregularities shortly after the elections were completed. Srivastava, who assembled the ballot and maintains the software used to compute the election results, has been Debian's secretary since 2001. Critics accuse Srivastava of abusing his power by selectively applying super-majority requirements to proposals that he disliked.
