In a supermajority-required TC vote involving eight TC members, currently a supermajority of 6 can override a minority of 2, since this meets the current 3:1 ratio. After this change, the supermajority vote has to be strictly greater than 3:1, so a vote of 6-2 would not pass the supermajority requirement. -- Russ Allbery (r...@debian.org) <http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/>
