while the original message may be borderline, the conflict of interest is here. Conflict of interest is not a judgement on a person. It is a judgement about a situation, and a recommendation on how systematically react, without making exceptions. For the choice of an init system, the technical comittee is a typical example where conflict of interest disqualifies a large number of its members (3 current or former employees of Canonical). This has been also observed in comittees making decisions on the approval of pharmaceutical drugs on the market, for instance, and it is a hard problem to solve. Luckily, the quorum of the technical comittee is 2 and the president has a casting vote, so it is possible to take a decision with the remaining members only. I hope that the conflict of interest will be taken seriously if there is a vote. But I also think that it is premature to make a decision without seeing the final implementations working.
