That's true, but I proposed a way for the TC to resolve conflicts based
on our internal discussions of consensus and based on my reading of the
policy process at
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?msg=497;bug=741573
Yes, there's some interpretation on the part of the TC in doing that.
However, 1) I think that's always part of our job and 2) we have a lot
of constitutional room in how we approach policy it being one of our
primary mandates.
