in this particular case, the GR was proposed with a misleading title (it was
NOT a simple "editorial" change, it was a radical change to the meaning of the
Social Contract which will ultimately result in the death by irrelevance of
debian) and effectively got through by stealth. very few actually voted,
roughly half the number that normally votes. of those who did vote for it,
several have already commented that they wouldn't have done so if they had
realised the effect it would have.
in any case, it has already been established that the GR had serious problems -
there is an existing proposal concerning it. i am just suggesting an
alternative option to that proposal. if you're not whining about Steve's
proposal, then why are you whining about my amendment? is there some reason
why Steve is allowed to make proposals but I am not?
