Also, from the resolution itself:
] I disagree with the Policy delegation decision of our DPL [1] and
] therefore propose a resolution as defined in section 4.2.2 of the Debian
] constitution to delay the decision of the Debian Project Leader keeping
] the Package Policy Committee as defined[2] in place
So it explicitly mentions 4.2.2, which means the resolution is
about delaying decisions, not about affirming them; if the proposer
and sponsors do not think that they wanted the hold to apply, they
can now voice their opinions, and there would be no harm, no foul.
