Mind you, most if not all of the CTTE are both sysadmins and upstream
developers, and I'd go as far as saying that most of DDs are either too.

Yes, and? There was a proposal on -vote, which could have been followed
by seconds, totally ignoring the side-discussions. Don't expect
launching a GR about a) overriding a Debian body; b) the default init
system to be a quiet ride.

My feeling is that the swamping happened because some people disagreeing
with the CTTE vote vented a lot of frustration through whining and
complaining instead of focusing their energy to formulate a concrete
proposal for a GR.
We're talking about finding _6_ seconds, so I'd only buy this argument
if the threshold was 50 (or so) and we'd have only found a dozen
seconds.
