Well, this is the reason why, in my proposal, I require that the GR explicitly say one way or the other whether it's overriding a FD if it's at all ambiguous. I don't believe either of those proposals should be allowed to go to vote until they explicitly say either that they're temporarily overriding a FD or that they believe that the release is consistent with the FD as written and are therefore a non-binding position statement on how the project interprets the FD. Basically, what I'm saying is that I'm not very worried about the case of a non-binding position statement saying that it doesn't override an FD but saying something completely contradictory to it. First, I don't think such a GR would pass, and second, even if it does, it's non-binding, so DDs who completely disagree with it aren't bound to follow it. nWhat I want to do is get out of the deadlock where the Secretary feels obligated to make a ruling on whether or not the interpretation is correct when that may be the whole point of the GR. Instead, the GR should explicitly say one way or the other whether it's intended to change the FD. -- Russ Allbery (r...@debian.org) <http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-vote-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
