But we have one > small problem with the current members: FWIW, I'm fine either way. I did discuss the possibility of dropping the tie-breaking helper about seniority in Debian with Phil. I'm fine with the principle and like the resulting increase in simplicity. But I also discussed that possibility with Lucas and he did prefer having some help from the Constitution to avoid that we recur too often to the DPL tie breaking (as will happen in the near future, apparently). Based on those discussions, I decided not to remove the tie-breaking clause. But I don't particularly care either way. If there is consensus that simplicity is preferable and Lucas won't mind dealing with the upcoming ties (in a way that is constitutionally sound), I'll be happy to formally accept an amendment to that end.
