Wow, man, never thought I'd see *you* weasel out of something like that ;)

That was about process to do with stabilisation. Of course having a tracker 
to monitor any issues is a positive step.

It doesn't say anything at all about what the base requirement was, nor what 
was up for discussion at the meeting. You yourself clarified that it was 
about no initramfs as soon as it was raised to Council: that was the only 
thing that could cause a technical issue, specifically to users who have 
setup according to official documentation, requiring a policy decision.

And that's what all the discussion was about: the consequence of making that 
policy decision (ie who would maintain patches, which are no longer needed.)

Still, this got silly weeks ago. Clearly Council needs to vote again with 
clear wording, or people will keep trying to pretend that they weren't 
discussing what they were asked to discuss.

Regards,
Steve.
