It just makes the ballot more complex and has the potential to add confusion and wording problems for no gain. If it's a viable option, it will get enough seconds in its own right. If it doesn't, it's so unpopular that there's no point in voting on it. The only case where I could see it making sense to second options one personally doesn't support is if one believes for some reason that there is a huge disconnect between the people reading debian-vote and seconding proposals and the project as a whole, so huge that an option that would win in the larger vote doesn't have enough advocates reading debian-vote to get sufficient seconds. This seems unlikely to me. -- Russ Allbery ([email protected]) <http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
