This decision has now been made.  I think it very unlikely that the TC
is going to revisit it, at least for jessie.

The draft TC decision text has been floating around for several
months, including being posted to this bug report and thus to the
debian-ctte@lists mailing list.  The right time to make these points
was when the matter was being discussed by the committee.

So I'm sorry to say this, but: can we please end this discussion.
If someone wants to reopen it for jessie+1 then I guess the TC would
reconsider it then.

Thanks,
Ian.
