I appreciate what you're saying here (although I think 6.1.1 overrides that), but as one of the delegated Policy Editors, I would immediately punt such a question arising in the Policy context to the TC under 6.1.1 and 6.1.3. There is absolutely no way the normal Policy maintenance process could deal with this debate. If it makes you feel more comfortable with this process, please assume that's happened. -- Russ Allbery (r...@debian.org) <http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-ctte-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
