I actually don't think that should be considered a bad thing. As an
analogy, I see the Tech Committee to the Debian project as the Supreme
Court is to the United States. The Supreme Court is incredible slow.
Most cases taking over 5 years before they even reach the court, then
a year to draft an opinion. But when decisions are made, they're at
least very well thought out; although perhaps all too often nowadays
way too politically biased.
So, anyway, I think any good judicial branch must be slow in order to
take in all of the subjective material available in order to make the
best decision possible.
Best wishes,
Mike
