No. That is divided between GRs and the technical committee, and this falls squarely under the purview of tech-ctte. > If you're feeling pedantic, consider it > to be falling under the clause that allows the developer body to override > any decision made by any delegate.

It carefully evades permitting GRs on technical policy, instead giving that problem to tech-ctte (and the reasons for that are fairly obvious). I don't think that trying to find exploitable loopholes in the wording is a good idea. -- .''`. ** Debian GNU/Linux ** | Andrew Suffield : :' : http://www.debian.org/ | `. `' | `- -><- |
