So we've been discussing within the release team the decision whether to treat the security team's request as RC, and we're split on the question; the decision has been made that the release team will instead refer this decision to the TC under 6.1.3 of the constitution. Since that makes this a referred decision rather than an override, a simple majority should therefore be sufficient to decide in either direction. Further, it's my understanding that there's no requirement for Andi or I to abstain. (Not that I think it's likely to affect the vote outcome, given that we were split on the question to begin with. ;) Following is a ballot for the question of bug #413926. I've drafted two separate ballot options to allow the TC to vote the full range of preferences under Condorcet; hopefully, 'further discussion' will rank low on everyone's ballots anyway. :) As far as I'm concerned no verbose resolution is needed here, feel free to consider the one-line description to be the full text of the resolution. I'm calling for an immediate vote, in the hopes that this decision can be made without impact to the etch release timeline. In the brackets next to your preferred choice, place a 1. Place a 2 in the brackets next to your next choice. Continue until you reach your last choice. Do not enter a number smaller than 1 or larger than 3. You may skip numbers. You may rank options equally (as long as all choices X you make fall in the range 1 <= X <= 3). To vote "no, no matter what" rank "Further discussion" as more desirable than the unacceptable choices, or You may rank the "Further discussion" choice, and leave choices you consider unacceptable blank. Unranked choices are considered equally the least desired choices, and ranked below all ranked choices. (Note: if the Further Discussion choice is unranked, then it is equal to all other unranked choices, if any.) - - -=-=-=-=-=- Don't Delete Anything Between These Lines =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- [ ] Choice 1: wordpress should not be included in etch due to bug #413269 [ ] Choice 2: wordpress should be included in etch in spite of bug #413269 [ ] Choice 3: Further discussion - - -=-=-=-=-=- Don't Delete Anything Between These Lines =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Cheers, -- Steve Langasek Give me a lever long enough and a Free OS Debian Developer to set it on, and I can move the world.
