I agree with you that this is an important issue which needs to be resolved within the Debian project. I also want to make it clear that I support the goal of having the project provide a clear policy statement about this issue in the short term. The discussions held within the context of the default init bug were fruitful, and without rancor, which makes me hopeful that the project membership can drive this issue to consensus in the near future through the usual policy editing process. As such I'd like to amend this proposed ballot with an additional option: * The TC chooses to not pass a resolution on this issue at the current time. This is different from FD as it says the TC will not continue discussions on this issue, although it could well restart them if the people involved in the policy editing process come to an impasse. It's also different from 'T' in that it will allow us to revisit this in the future without needing to overturn a previous decision. I understand your desire to forestall potential future conflict by proactively voting this issue, but given the progress already made, I don't feel like the TC needs to step in now. Thank you for your consideration. -- keith.packard@intel.com
