No. I'll thank you to get better at spotting jokes. I expect there are
others who agree with aj's text on some points and adeodato's on another.
I'd like to have a way to resolve that conflict without it being a choice
between voting for text one doesn't support and voting for spending time
on further discussion of this. Can we resolve it by balloting by section?
Then a full range of views can be used to pick a compromise.

Offering many versions of a controversial policy seems reasonably common
in advice about Condorcet voting. For example, online:
"Voters have a real choice only when offered competing versions of a
policy. Not just a tax, yes or no, but several versions of the tax can
and should be offered." -- http://accuratedemocracy.com/l_intro.htm

Lately, debian votes tend to offer a few polarised alternatives,
bundling different decisions together. I'm asking whether we can find
a better resolution this time, without running several GRs.
