That's the problem. You keep saying it's *you* working on it. If it's for
Debian at large, then we *all* should work on it. Stop being so ego centric.
Do you not think the rest of the Debian populace can think for themselves, and
can come to an agreement? Or do you think that the ctte needs to do the
thinking for everyone else?

This is still not an apology.

Proprosed is more official than just draft.
