Because it doesn't avoid wasting people's time on *holding* the GR; it only gives the result for all the world to see that the developers prefer one solution, but the TC prefers another, and the TC's decision would take precedence. While there's an argument for having a smaller group spend time to study the issue more carefully, if the larger group can't overturn the smaller group's decision with a simple majority, then whatever else that is, it's antidemocratic. -- Steve Langasek Give me a lever long enough and a Free OS Debian Developer to set it on, and I can move the world.
