Actually, this was unfair. Buddha Buck's post that you mentioned in the
final CFV was very useful. (Thanks!)

How much effort do you consider reasonable? Do you want me to read the
whole discussion of the last year? Not that interested, sorry. Frankly
all I wanted was to be involved in an important Debian decision,
and couldn't find readily accessible information until I asked for it.
(Accessible meaning concise, not just easy to find at lists.d.o.)
It seems that you think anyone who hasn't followed the discussion for
the past year doesn't deserve a vote.

I don't know why you're trying to insult me here. It's not working,
since you don't even know me.

Nor did I intend to insult you. I thought this term had been used on
debian-vote before. I found
http://lists.debian.org/debian-vote/2003/debian-vote-200305/msg00084.html
(from Aj less than a month ago) for example.
I guess my comments had some effect given that you added that URL to the
final CFV.
