I can't follow you here. What I think to have learned out of those
discussions is that with the current SC, the relevant people think it's
impossible (both "legally" within our constitution, and personally
according to their conscience) to release sarge with the release policy
as it was before GR003-2004.
Thus, the only way to get out sarge with this release policy is to
change the SC.

Here I cannot follow either. Even if Proposal F wins, we can stop
discussing and start working. This will probably cause lots of bad
emotions between Debian and the FSF, and it will take long. But
eventually we'll be able to release sarge. If further discussion wins, I
fear we will be doing exactly that: Continue discussing instead of
starting to work.
