On one hand, we place great faith in the Debian community to make good individual and collective decisions about all manner of things, and our constitution emphasizes the primacy of the individual in almost all aspects of the project. On the other hand, the ctte is charged by the constitution to take responsibility to resolve conflicts of precisely this nature. Saying that the ctte should be more easily overruled than usual seems to me as much an abdication of this constitutional responsibility as it does a wish to empower the broader community with true democratic powers. I believe there may be issues of such broad scope and deep impact where we must ask the whole community to educate themselves sufficiently to help decide. What I don't know is if this particular issue reaches that level. Don - with your deeper experience in this process, can you help me understand how this particular issue needs to be handled differently From previous issues brought to the committee? -- keith.packard@intel.com
