Then don't say that. We have a defined method of voting, and if people don't like the results: there are procedures to change the voting method, the constitution and other things. After that you could even start a new GR. Complaining about the voting system because you don't like the outcome or because you could announce the outcome in an awkward way is not helpful. There are awkward voting systems all over the world (ever voted for the US president? or in Germany?), so Debian is not special. -- Bernd Zeimetz Debian GNU/Linux Developer http://bzed.de http://www.debian.org GPG Fingerprint: ECA1 E3F2 8E11 2432 D485 DD95 EB36 171A 6FF9 435F
