This was discussed briefly earlier, and for whatever it's worth was
intentional. My reasoning was that when the TC is asked to make a
decision, "None of the above" doesn't conclude that process. In the TC
case, it does seem to really mean "further discussion" in the sense that
the TC hasn't resolved the issue in front of them and has to keep
discussing it.
That said, I don't feel strongly about this and can change this if folks
would prefer, particularly if TC members don't think that's the right way
to go.

Correct.

Is there a Git repository somewhere with the canonical copy of the
constitution that I an start from? I assume it's somewhere in the
www.debian.org machinery, which is something I've never worked with before
and am not sure how to get at.
