Absolutely.

For the avoidance of any doubt, I don't think that decisions of the TC
should be interpreted as overruling the maintainer unless that is the
only possible interpretation of the resolution's text.

In the past it has always been clearly stated if we intend to overrule
the maintainer.  We should continue that practice.
