If you can get people to agree with a proposal that permits both .desktop and .menu files then you can replace the TC decision. For myself, I think that forcing a transition to .desktop will create a longer Debian long-term. I believe that the TC's approach provides a useful push for that in this situation. I realize that it is a fairly forceful approach and it's not something that Debian does often. It seems to be a case where the broader community might disagree with the TC and if that's the case, then I would be happy with that result.
