I feel this vote is rushed. Yes, we had a few discussions on -project
and -vote, but these barely scratched the surface, and they also do not
reflect recent changes in the AI space.
And also it is very unlikely that the AI space will reach any state of
stability in the next five years. Regardless on how we vote now, the
result will look ridiculous in two to five years.
Also, this election will have a profound impact on Debian's future.
I don't think it's far-fetched that, within two years, virtually all
relevant software development will be done with AI assistance. If we
reject that outright, we'll become irrelevant.
This is a dangerous thing, and having the GR titled this way gives a
frame to the press even before we have decided. This is a totally bad
thing.
I would also suggest that if the proponent is unable to provide a
decently formatted proposal even after being asked to do so, they should
seek AI assistance.
