I don't believe we have enough information to do the GR now (or one week from today, the longest we can delay). I am unclear on whether existing packages in Debian are affected. Your proposal does not indicate whether the GR would be effective immediately. My suggestion is for you to ask the DPL to extend the discussion period by a week (for constitutional reasons) followed by an immediate withdrawal of the GR. Withdrawing the GR allows you to resubmit later and wait 2-3 weeks from that point. Thank you, Jeremy Bícha
