Thanks to all candidates for putting together your rebuttals. It's always good to see lots of "if elected, I plan to work with other candidates"
Martin, do you really see "lot of parallels" with Sam's platform? Sam's platform is all about innovative people mechanics. I would much rather prefer a DPL that works _less_, but having DPL and not just DDs propose GRs and bring up issues to tech-ctte is interesting. The question is _what_ would be up for discussion, given it's only a year. Sam's platform is principled about the DPL not having an agenda and OK with leaving some things as they are. In Sam's platform, the difficulty of making changes in Debian is a "perception". I don't think any platform in this vote can be reduced to "what's your position re. Stapelberg" (it's been a great debate) and Martin's platform is more about questioning status quo... so much so that he acknowledges the platform is highly critical of Debian (in a good way IMHO) I get that no one wants to run for DPL on a platform of "let's get rid of the DPL" but Sam says he doesn't "see significant changes in governance required" while Martin mentions "change" 9 times, including: "I think Debian has reached a point where it's important to fundamentally rethink how our community operates" It's also clear there's a different approach to money and resources in the two platforms. I like it that we see opportunities to work together but I don't think these platforms are equivalent or differ only in the personal style of the candidate.
