Nor are "Debian will have nothing to do with non-free ever again"
and "Debian will continue to maintain non-free, but will do it on
unofficial.debian.org instead of ftp-master". So I don't see what
relevance the above has at all.
I think I've consistently ignored the possibility of actual independent
alternatives in a single resolution throughout this whole thread.

Well, you seem willing to infer whole vistas of implied conditions from
single words, and seem to take the position that anything not explicitly
forbidden in the constitution is implicitly allowed, so I don't really
see much point discussing what the constitution says, since I can't see
any objective basis for analysis remaining, and you have the high-ground
as far as subjective analysis goes (since you have some possibility of
actually acting as secretary).
I'm much more interested in how we should conduct votes in future, anyway.
