-=== TC RESOLUTION STARTS ===
-
-1. The Debian Technical Committee hereby exercises its power in 4.2(1)
- of the Debian Constitution to propose a General Resolution,
- and according to A.1(1) the TC also proposes an amendment.
-
- The proposed texts of the two resulting options for the General
- Resolution are as follows:
-
- ----- GENERAL RESOLUTION STARTS, COMMON INTRODUCTORY TEXT -----
-
- Advice to the TC on overruling maintainers
-
- In the past the Technical Committee have been reluctant to overrule
- a maintainer unless all the members are absolutely convinced that
- the maintainer's decision was wrong.
-
- The TC has sought the views of the Developers. Accordingly, the
- Developers advise, in their (non-binding) opinion, that:
-
- ----- GENERAL RESOLUTION OPTION A -----
-
- The Technical Committee's approach so far has been correct.
-
- ----- GENERAL RESOLUTION OPTION B -----
-
- Technical Committee members should be willing to vote to overrule if
- they feel that the maintainer's decision was wrong; the
- supermajority requirement is sufficient to guard against overruling
- in questionable cases.
-
- ----- GENERAL RESOLUTION ENDS -----
