It's true that discussion and consensus building should have happened
before any drafting (even if just as a general courtesy.) However,
we've been discussing this issue with the attempt to reach consensus
or at least some understanding for the past month, and still have yet
to even start to make a technical decision. [Not to mention the fact
that it stems from an issue which has been discussed extensively for
the past six months.]

That said, if I'm wrong, and you believe that there is a compromise
which would resolve the concerns raised beyond those already presented
(status quo with/without release notes), now would be the time to
present it.

Finally, if you believe the committee to be acting improperly, please
point it out. It's easy for us to either change, or if we disagree in
the interpretation of the constitution, get the secretary to interpret
the constitution for us. [I've gone ahead and put Kurt in the loop so he can
