I am considering doing that. On the other hand, now that we are going to vote anyway, I think that we should use this opportunity to clarify the project's position on this issue, which would not be achieved if FD won. So, I think that we need alternative proposal(s), and I just put forward one based on the "Advice: sysvinit compatibility in jessie and multiple init support" option of the TC resolution on init system coupling. But designing and tuning alternative proposals might take time, so I would prefer to wait a few days before reducing the discussion period, to ensure that we vote with a sensible ballot. I will decide in the middle of next week about that. There's also the possibility to use 4.2.3 to reduce the voting period to one week. Assuming we would be voting over the last week of october or the first of november, are there strong reasons not to reduce the voting period to one week? This is a vacation period in some schools in France and maybe elsewhere, but that is usually not one where many people are away and offline. Lucas
