AFAIK, I've not seen the request to aj for No.1 and he described it as
being asked to review the situation - not to issue a ruling - in
http://lists.debian.org/debian-boot/2006/05/msg00235.html
It is still a current problem.

In No.2, aj decided to pay developers outside the project's control
by calling for donations to "fund debian release managers" instead of
improving dunc-tank, and there are no published measures or methods
for this "experiment" on our project AFAICT.  It is a non-design.

No.3 already has a Discussion Is Over - maybe it won't be so, but what
a way to consider something!

Has there been a controversial issue where aj has sought consensus
instead of taking it to the brink?
