The Tech Committee has exercised its power to decide in cases of
overlapping jurisdiction, because it was asked to do so by a fellow
Developer; they were asked to break a tie, which is vastly different
from 'dictating' a major change.
Them requiring certain minimal requirements would have been quite
unusual in Debian procedures, but would certainly have been possible.
The Tech Committee simply didn't decide to do so.
As I wrote already, you might disagree with their decision or the way it
was taken. So far, the decision hasn't been challenged by a GR; none has
been proposed or gathered enough seconds.
Can we move on to solving practical problems rather than exploring
theories? Thanks in advance,
OdyX
