I made it known that I was not satisfied with the set of ballot options, and I was still in the process of drafting language to try to identify a consensus position that the TC would support as a whole. While we obviously don't want to drag out the discussion indefinitely, I don't think it's reasonable to give a 48-hour deadline, during a work week, in the body of one message among dozens. With nothing to call attention to itself, that message sat unread in my box among a pile of others until just now, when it's too late. This is substantially the same as Bdale's earlier CFV, which you objected to at the time. I think whichever option wins on this ballot, if the TC leaves the discussion here it will be a bad outcome for Debian because it leaves maintainers without clear guidance about how to avoid fragmenting the archive. Since this vote will almost certainly result in a resolution passing, I think I will need to begin drafting a follow-up resolution to address this, under 6.1.1. -- Steve Langasek Give me a lever long enough and a Free OS Debian Developer to set it on, and I can move the world.
