Hi Joerg, I read your recent blog entry on the topic, and I think you make interesting points defending your proposal. From my perspective (i.e. the perspective of someone who isn't very familiarized with the areas of Debian affected by your proposed changes), the whole thing looked confusing, and I didn't know (still don't!) whether I would support it or not. So, I totally support you in defending your proposal, but I think it could've been a lot better if those points were made _before_ the announcement. The reason I seconded this GR is because, one way or the other, I think a healthy reform is one that is endorsed by the majority of developers [1] (and if the proposed vote doesn't pass, that is a form of endorsement too). I'd like to encourage you to bring this discussion forward, and push for your proposed changes to gain acceptance. My opinion, right now, is that I have no clue about what they imply, and will most likely not vote or send a no-op ballot.
