   Advice to the TC on overruling maintainers

   In the past the Technical Committee have been reluctant to overrule
   a maintainer unless all the members are absolutely convinced that
   the maintainer's decision was wrong.

   The TC has sought the views of the Developers.  Accordingly, the
   Developers advise, in their (non-binding) opinion, that:

   ----- GENERAL RESOLUTION OPTION A -----

   The Technical Committee's approach so far has been correct.

   ----- GENERAL RESOLUTION OPTION B -----

   Technical Committee members should be willing to vote to overrule if
   they feel that the maintainer's decision was wrong; the
   supermajority requirement is sufficient to guard against overruling
   in questionable cases.
