Debian has voted to not reject use of AI for contributions to the distribution. I've seen people blaming the voting system, political centrism, or 'being tricked' by AI-written proposals to rectify this result. I will instead blame the voters, the Debian Developers themselves, for the outcome: There simply was no majority to reject genAI contributions, and likewise no interest in regulating it. >>
