Note that this isn't about the "2-R" rule as we could have the same behaviour by keeping the "2" rule and simply dropping the transitional measure (and passing the GR after 2015-01-01, or having a transitional measure that annihilates the expiring on 2015-01-01) Lucas -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-vote-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
