I'm curious how you reach the conclusion that not having a TC means that the current TC members will have less of their time wasted. If we don't have a TC as a dispute resolution body, the only binding decision-making body will be the developers at large (through GR). I don't think having a project-wide discussion on every question that would have gone to the TC would take less time than having a TC discussion about the same question - and because everybody votes in a GR, everybody's time is wasted, not just that of the select few suckers^W noble servants^W^W unaccountable overlords on the TC. Do you think that eliminating the option of using the TC (by disbanding the TC) means that fewer disputes will be raised via our formal dispute resolution process? If so, how do you believe these disputes will be resolved, and why will this be a net improvement to Debian over the current process?
