I am very unhappy to see this CFV in my inbox this morning. I made it known
that I was not satisfied with the set of ballot options, and I was still in
the process of drafting language to try to identify a consensus position
that the TC would support as a whole. While we obviously don't want to drag
out the discussion indefinitely, I don't think it's reasonable to give a
48-hour deadline, during a work week, in the body of one message among
dozens. With nothing to call attention to itself, that message sat unread
in my box among a pile of others until just now, when it's too late.
This is substantially the same as Bdale's earlier CFV, which you objected to
at the time.
I think whichever option wins on this ballot, if the TC leaves the
discussion here it will be a bad outcome for Debian because it leaves
maintainers without clear guidance about how to avoid fragmenting the
archive.
Since this vote will almost certainly result in a resolution passing, I
think I will need to begin drafting a follow-up resolution to address this,
under 6.1.1.
