It would serve as summary, if nothing else. But we also had a discussion with
the DPL, who suggested a new GR which could be signed by the kernel team, the
d-i team and the RMs (signed = seconded here). I don't know why he chose not
to hold this publicly, but only with some given folk of all team, but in any
case, we need to come up with a new proposal signed up by everyone,
particularly since Don's GR is a no-op, and will not change anything.

I don't know if it is our position statement will become a GR or not, but it
should serve as explanation of how things stand, and thus it is rather urgent
to send it out to debian-vote or elsewhere, once it is confirmed, and then a
GR needs to be coined to reflect our position, since both Frederik's original
GR and Manoj's one lack a bit of clarity, which is not the case of your draft.

Thanks for posting the draft, do you know what we are waiting for to send it
to -release and -boot for their confirmation of approval or comments ?
Jurij, i still think your draft is lightyears more clear and to the point than
most GRs out there.
Friendly,
Sven Luther
