As I've already said, I share Ian's concern that Bdale's call for votes was disrespectful, depriving his fellow committee members of the right to participate in the drafting process, which is just as much an exploit of the voting system as tactical voting is. But this barrage of CFVs only compounds the problem. I do support the idea of fixing the constitution to require a minimum discussion period on ballots for TC resolutions. -- Steve Langasek Give me a lever long enough and a Free OS Debian Developer to set it on, and I can move the world.
