Possibly, nobody wants to be that vindictive against a single
maintainer who could quite easily question their selection as the
first such case. Alternatively, Suffield's drop GR does it as a
general principle. Maybe I am wrong and no non-free maintainer would
take it badly if tech-ctte was asked to overrule them.
We delayed only because it is the FSF, if it was anyone else ...
Do you have a case history to back that claim up? I thought it was
delayed just because it was a shedload of packages, which take time to
replace, so more debian time is devoted to working on a possible fix.
