The main difference is that Debian's GR is a generic voting mechanism |
| 23 |
that's supposed to be used ocassionally. Our GR is a fail-safe for |
| 24 |
Council behaving silly or going rogue. It's not supposed to be used |
| 25 |
under normal circumstances. |
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
I've chosen our numbers to be high enough to discourage attempted abuse |
| 28 |
while making it possible to actually use GR when necessary. Which |
| 29 |
numbers are you specifically talking about? |
| 30 |
|
| 31 |
If it's about N1 and N2, they may seem like many but I should point out |
| 32 |
that after all we're talking about majority of the developers |
| 33 |
disagreeing with the Council. |
| 34 |
|
| 35 |
N1 being around 30 developers may seem large but it's certainly smaller |
| 36 |
than the number of Gentoo developers actively contributing to Gentoo |
| 37 |
every day. I get that getting them all to sign off is cumbersome but if |
| 38 |
there's a real reason to use GR, I'm pretty sure they'll find |
| 39 |
the motivation to do that. |
| 40 |
|
| 41 |
N2 being 25% developers is really small. We're talking about all-dev |
| 42 |
vote, so really expecting at least 25% to actively take part is a must. |
| 43 |
It's larger than N1 but we're talking of a vote that's handled via |
| 44 |
voting mechanism all devs are supposed to notice. |
| 45 |
|
| 46 |
The 2:1 majority is what Debian uses for overriding decisions of TC. |
| 47 |
So it's certainly not larger. In some cases Debian uses 3:1. |
