If you add Keith's proposal as well as an explanation of our technical
objection to what debian-policy came up with it, I might even vote for
it.
If you were to add a recommendation to ballot option B that under 6.1.5
we ask debian-policy to consider Keith's proposal, I'd prefer that to
the current text.
If you simply add a ballot option for Keith's proposal without text in
the decision explaining our technical objection to option A/B, I'll
disagree with it as strongly as I can. (Read, I'd probably feel
strongly enough to fight the issue in other fora if I was in the rough
here).
While we're not overturning anything in the sense of an override here, I
think we owe an explanation for our actions, and I feel really strongly
about that.
