That sounds like a pretty good description of either a GR, or the Technical Committee. We have both of those things, and they both work, though not everybody is happy with them. Do you mean, perhaps, that the Further Discussion option in a GR should be weighted much more heavily than other options, so that it can beat another option if only a few people rank it higher? I am not in favor of that. Or perhaps you mean there should be an official platform where someone can say, effectively, "Before deciding to do X, you should take into account that I, someone directly involved in its implementation, will not help because I'm not convinced X is a good idea. Also, this may demotivate me from related work Y and Z." But, well, anybody can already say that. Anyway... I don't really see people leaving because of a decision they disagree with. What I do see is people leaving for social reasons, either changes in their own lives, or perceived social changes in the Project. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
