Why vote for DPL only?

[Konstantinos Margaritis <markos@debian.org>]

Hello everyone,

So far, we've been discussing voting for position of the DPL, which 
undeniably, is the highest rank -or whatever you wish to call it, 
that's not the point i'm trying to make- within Debian.

However, as every past, present and (possibly) future, DPL will 
probably tell you, the DPL cannot enforce anyone to do anything, he 
can only point to the right direction, influence and motivate people 
to do their tasks and perhaps help settle things down when flames go 
ablaze :-)

Don't misunderstand me, I don't underestimate the DPL's position, it's 
just the structure of Debian is such, that while we argue about 
Democracy all the time, I don't think we live by it. 

So, what I actually would like to ask the DPL candidates is how they 
view a possible proposal of actually using democratic methods for all 
key positions within Debian. Just as a DPL has to convince everyone 
of his/her worth, why shouldn't the same apply to other (possibly 
more important) positions? Debian is not the 50 people team it used 
to be.

Yes, I am actually proposing this.

Regards

Konstantinos
