I do not think we can over ride the constitution, and other foundation documents, with a simple position statement; so I would not think a simple position statement can trump the SC.

Should this not be spelled out? manoj -- Debian Project Secretary <secretary@debian.org> <http://www.debian.org/> 1024R/C7261095 print CB D9 F4 12 68 07 E4 05 CC 2D 27 12 1D F5 E8 6E 1024D/BF24424C print 4966 F272 D093 B493 410B 924B 21BA DABB BF24 424C
