Just to even avoid having to have a reasonable DPL,[1] we could also
require that changes to the list of organisations that are authorized
to hold Debian's assets be announced publicly some period of time (2
weeks?) before the changes take effect. [This would allow the DPL's
decision to be overriden without unecessary asset flapping.]

with if this ever happened, it seems to go along with the
constitution's trend of minimizing the actual power that the DPL can
wield as much as possible.
