IMHO whenever there is no clear majority in the TC (let's say 3:1),
the TC should use its power under 4.2.1. to propose a GR instead
of making a decision.
Past TC casting vote decisions that come into my mind are systemd and
merged /usr. It would have been faster and less painful for the whole
project had such decisions started by involving the whole project
in a structured 2 week GR discussion followed by a democratic vote,
instead of having years of mess and bad blood after a TC-only decision.
