A ^%$#^ GR? to decide on technical issues like release
management? This is incredibly stupid. We used to never decide
technical issues by popular opinion -- and, anyway, a GR on release
policy is a no-op. The proper way to go about changing the release
mechanism has already been demonstrated by AJ -- he went off and
implemented testing on his own, shadowing the real archive, wrote up
the testing scripts, and came back with numbers, and proof of
concept, not a meaningless vote.
You know, all this politicking, as opposed to writing code, is
probably the prime factor behind any decline in the quality of the
distribution.
