It is hard to guess what other people think, if they do not want to tell you - especially when communication is only in writing. A discussion on possible interpretations of those proposed GRs would make sense - but not if you refuse to take part in it. It does not help at all if the people that take part in the discussion come to the conclusion that the interpretation is unambiguous, and later you (or anybody else who has influence there) tells us that we've missed something. Since you refuse to comment on the proposed GRs as they are, I doubt whether you would in fact take part in such a discussion. It does not make any sense to me to start one (or to write up a web page or whatever) if you refuse to comment on it.

It is the Release Manager who has to decide on the interpretation of this. And as an individual, I can never be sure whether my interpretation is the only one that people have. At least not as long as we don't talk about it. > There are two reasons to require me to do this: because you're all > incompetent at making decisions of this sort, in which case Debian's > best interests would be met by appointing me supreme project dictator > for life, There are two meanings of competence and incompetence, at least in German: Having the knowledge, or having the power. We are in fact incompetent: In the second sense. There's no use in me making that decision, as long as I don't know whether you, the competent person, agrees with the interpretation of the wording I choose for my decision.
