the current gbp defaults were also implemented without any consensus on them,
so in that regard, embracing DEP14 would not make the situation worse.

What is improved by DEP14 is that in contrast to the current gbp defaults, it
is backed up by a write-up of advice, best-practices and recommendations. We
should have more of these write-ups for the things we do. This would also make
it easier for new contributors to get into Debian.
