I think it's too late for that. The TC has been asked to rule on the matter, and we appear to have a consensus regarding the correct technical path forward. If there are specific technical objections to the proposed resolution, we should of course take those on board; but I don't think it helps anything to waffle on the question of who is making the decision. -- Steve Langasek Give me a lever long enough and a Free OS Debian Developer to set it on, and I can move the world.
