Yes, very reasonable. So (after asking the DPL and him rejecting) the
GR should be amended to "The Debian developers overturn the decision
of the DPL not to set a deadline for deciding the amd64 inclusion in
sid for ftp-master"?
Worst case scenario: Lets say that wins (1 month delay) and a deadline
is set and passes (another month delay) and the ftp-master team is not
replaced (another month waiting for the DPL to do that) then we can
make a GR forcing the replacement (another month) and get a new team
in (another month to find that team) and get amd64 added to sid.
That makes 5 month delay just through inaction for something the great
majority of developers wants? Please don't let it come to that.

I haven't. Someone else did and it was not coordinated on the
debian-amd64 mailinglist (which it should have). Could have been
discussed on irc while I was absent there but I doubt it.

Well, we have (asked him to intervene) and he is working on it. See
the last mail from him for the details of his now increased efforts
to resolve it.
