=== TC RESOLUTION STARTS ===

1. The Debian Technical Committee hereby exercises its power in 4.2(1)
   of the Debian Constitution to propose a General Resolution,
   and according to A.1(1) the TC also proposes an amendment.

   The proposed texts of the two resulting options for the General
   Resolution are as follows:

   ----- GENERAL RESOLUTION STARTS, COMMON INTRODUCTORY TEXT -----

   Advice to the TC on overruling maintainers

   In the past the Technical Committee have been slow and reluctant
   to overrule a maintainer unless all the members are absolutely

   Developers advise, in their (non-binding) opinion, that:

   ----- GENERAL RESOLUTION OPTION A -----

   The Technical Committee's approach so far has been correct.

   ----- GENERAL RESOLUTION OPTION B -----

   Technical Committee members should be willing to vote to overrule if
   they feel that the maintainer's decision was wrong; the
   supermajority requirement is sufficient to guard against overruling
   in questionable cases.
