Can you please let us finish having a conversation before you turn the issue into a confrontational vote? Many of us are already trying to work through what the requirements are and understand from what the current policy stems, including both Manoj and I who on first glance agree with you, and I have seen no sign as yet that we can't reach a mutually agreeable conclusion. But people are already freaking out about this, despite the fact that the conversation has just started, and now you're proposing a GR when we have only had one round of question and reply. If we reach a clear, unbridgable point of disagreement where both sides understand the motivating factors of the other side and still disagree, then we can look at whether a GR is an appropriate resolution. But right now, this is harmfully premature. -- 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".
