To clarify, do you mean "TC members" here instead of the more generic "people"? Because there have been a few people speaking in favour, with varying degrees of enthusiasm. But please note that I have not publicized this anywhere, so only somebody who follows CTTE's bugs would have noticed. If you are looking for more people (outside of TC members) to chime in, I can try and make that happen, but I wasn't aware this was a requirement. > Also, the Release Team aren't happy with Luca's plan, so even if the TC > were to override Santiago, it might be moot, because the TC can't > override delegate decisions. That is not how I read those messages though? I do not see vetoes. There were legitimate concerns raised about QA efforts, and manual efforts, which I think I have answered - at least there hasn't been any comeback on those answers. As far as I can tell, testing-proposed-updates is a fully supported mechanism, our dev ref even mentions it: https://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/developers-reference/pkgs.en.html#t-p-u I believe the change being talked about respects all the points and requirements listed on that page. If there are more that are not present there, I would ask that they be documented in the same place - this would generally be useful, not just for this instance.
