Probably, but we can't proceed until BR3 either has enough seconds, or it's 
reasonably clear that it won't get them.

I based this upon your message here:

   We are almost there with this proposal too, all we need is one DD to
   sign on to this.

My key is not in the Debian keyring, nor does it have a trust path to
it, so I have not verified the signatures. Yeah, I need to fix that. Nor
have I even verified there are DD's by these names.

However, here are archive URLs to the messages, to hopefully make the

I see Branden and 6 seconds. So it looks like we might of had enough
seconds a while ago, if we only needed 5.
