I would gladly vote an option that says: "technically, we trust what the TC says; politically, we are concerned about some of our upstreams' choices". A technical endorsement need not also be a political one. I would like to keep the technical and political issues as distinct as possible, though. I am not interested in spending time evaluating each option to form a technical opinion on what the best choice would be, and I'm extremely happy that the TC are doing that for me. I do have personal opinions on some of the upstreams' choices, but I believe that they should not get in the way of a technical decision. A constructive thing that we may do as a project to address the political side of the matter, is to add to our technical decision a list of things that we wish our upstreams would do to make all our lives easier in the future.
