I'm only an observer on this case, but I am an ARC member so have some context.. While withdrawing a case is certainly your call, it would be unfortunate if it is - as it seems from the choice of your words above - due only to some confusion on ARC process terminology. Please note nothing is "stuck" and there is no "damage". People expressing opinions on a mailing list is not damage. None of it is binding. At a high level[1], "derail" only means the case will be talked about at the next (or chosen) meeting and voted on. That, and Garrett generated some work for himself due to having to write an opinion summarizing what went on. That's all. Procedurally the vote can result in a Deny but historically that is unlikely[2] so taking action based on something that has not happened is quite premature.
