Hi Thorsten,
with my experience of having proposed a GR that eventually led to a vote and a
lot of bitterness, I recommend one more option, nicknamed "rotten tomatoes",
that basically says that this GR should never have been proposed. This is a
risky option, but at least if it loses to "further discussion", there will be
less debate on whether it is too easy to start GRs, if this one could have been
avoided, etc. If on the other hand it wins to all other options, you will have
learned for yourself, at the expense of the other developers, that your
understanding of the situation was wrong, which is still less bad than being
left with "further discussion" only.
Currently, I would vote "rotten tomatoes".
Cheers,
