Either of these options will require 2:1, though. Let me quote ยง4.1.4: Together, the Developers may: [...] Make or override any decision authorised by the powers of the Technical Committee, provided they agree with a 2:1 majority. As you can see, there's no difference between making a decision which requires the CTTE powers (first proposed method), or overriding a decision which requires the CTTE powers (second proposed method). We want to draft language which avoids this, which is what the paragraph in question (and Ian's paragraph in [1]) attempt to do. 1: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=727708#5684 -- Don Armstrong http://www.donarmstrong.com A kiss was mysterious and powerful, fragile and invincible.
