I agree that it ended up being a bit confused.

"wants" is perhaps a bit of a strong word for this. There were
certainly a lot of administrative work and costs involved.

For the -general list, I do want to pass on that SPI is currently
working with Debian through their representative to try to work through
this and make it all clearer, so you can expect an updated resolution
(should one be needed; it's possible there won't be one ultimately), so
it's unlikely that additional discussion of this specific resolution
among the broader group would be useful at this time.

Thanks!

Stephen
