This sort of message is not likely to be helpful. Technical committee
decisions are not a popularity contest, and there have been specific
objections to the design of the package previously discussed in this
thread. It is not correct to state that the only issues here are
political.
If you have new information not previously mentioned in the thread to add,
please do, but statements of support without additional information should
not influence technical commitee decisions.
Please remember that the technical committee is not being asked whether or
not the design of ia32-libs-tools is useful, but rather to overturn a
project delegate decision. This is a higher bar to meet.
