Just to be very clear here, I do believe that we're deadlocked, even though I expect the resolution process to be able to spit out a decision. I don't mean deadlocked in the sense that Condorcet will fail, but rather deadlock in the sense that the preferences above FD will result in a tie and the question will be decided by casting vote. I consider deciding the question by casting vote to be synonymous with being deadlocked, since the whole point of a casting vote is to break deadlocks. I realize, in retrospect, that this may be an idiosyncratic use of the term "deadlock" and that other people thought I meant that no option would get a majority above FD. The casting vote is the process we have, and the process that everyone agreed to. But I must say that I'm personally quite uncomfortable with deciding an issue of this magnitude by casting vote. -- 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".
