I think it would be better to retain that flexibility.
The formulation is indeed restrictive, but that was on purpose. If this GR gets enough seconds, I welcome other proposals of course, but I believe incorporating a clause where we would eventually want to keep such assets in case we have an investment plans: 1. Would go against my wish that Debian does not hold such assets 2. Would make the proposal much more complex > There also seemed to be a lot of consensus on debian-private. Do we need > a GR?

I disagree that GRs are heavy hammers that should only be used when we don't agree. I think "quick" GRs that spawn from strong consensus are beneficial for the project. People are - of course - welcome to disagree and can very well decide not to second, in which case there won't be a GR :) -- ⢀⣴⠾⠻⢶⣦⠀ ⣾⠁⢠⠒⠀⣿⡁ Louis-Philippe Véronneau ⢿⡄⠘⠷⠚⠋ po...@debian.org / veronneau.org ⠈⠳⣄
