10 ----- GENERAL RESOLUTION STARTS, COMMON INTRODUCTORY TEXT -----
12 Advice to the TC on overruling maintainers
14 In the past the Technical Committee have been reluctant to overrule
15 a maintainer unless all the members are absolutely convinced that
16 the maintainer's decision was wrong.
18 The TC has sought the views of the Developers. Accordingly, the
19 Developers advise, in their (non-binding) opinion, that:
21 ----- GENERAL RESOLUTION OPTION A -----
23 The Technical Committee's approach so far has been correct.
25 ----- GENERAL RESOLUTION OPTION B -----
27 Technical Committee members should be willing to vote to overrule if
28 they feel that the maintainer's decision was wrong; the
29 supermajority requirement is sufficient to guard against overruling
30 in questionable cases.
32 ----- GENERAL RESOLUTION ENDS -----
