This teaches me to write email while people are trying to talk to me. The above description is correct, except that what I said was the new state is the current state, which this GR is changing. Currently, a supermajority of 6 cannot override a minority of 2. After this GR, that would again be possible. -- Russ Allbery (r...@debian.org) <http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/>
