If you looked more closely, you'd see that the head article of this
whole discussion was posted to debian-ctte:
http://lists.debian.org/debian-ctte/2002/debian-ctte-200210/msg00009.html
Indeed, I'm puzzled as to how you, Manoj, can claim that `there has
been absolutely no discussion of [...] the contents' on the ctte list,
when you yourself have discussed the contents there ! See:
http://lists.debian.org/debian-ctte/2002/debian-ctte-200210/msg00015.html
Note my very first introductory paragraph:
I've noticed, mainly due to getting closer to disputes due to greater
tech-ctte activity, that some disputes are getting really quite
dysfunctional. So, I wrote the draft below. Let me know what you
think. If people like it we can post it to d-d-a and I'll write it up
for a web page, or we can put it in the developers' reference, or
something.

You seem to have missed the word DRAFT which is plastered all over it.
As in, we're currently at the `what do people think of this document'
stage. And, loud as you and Branden are, I'm still not convinced that
people dislike it.
Ian.
