I don't like the current vote either and wouldn't mind if it was canceled. My suggestion is to do a very simple vote first, with only two choices: a) continue with the release process and don't wait for further GRs Of course this means, effectively, that we do trust the release team and other developers involved in the release process b) wait with the lenny release until we made decisions on the open issues This means that we don't want do be hasty, take our time to agree what the open issues are, how they could be resolved and what further GRs are necessary to finally decide on these matters. The third option, further discussion, could be included on the ballot for completeness, but as it is roughly equivalent to "I don't want to delay lenny but I don't want to release it in it's current state either", it's only for people who really can't decide what they want :-) IMHO we have to bite the bullet: Either we release lenny without agreeing on the DFSG issues first, or we delay lenny. As the vote suggested above is only sensible if lenny isn't delayed by the vote itself, it would be good to start it ASAP and do it with a shortened voting period.
