When I was excommunicated in late October 2014, I'd been in the Debian
world for 10 months. I had no idea what the modern Debian project was
like, my opinions of Debian were formed in the 20th century. Debian
changed.

Nevertheless, I think our "protracted lobbying" (which is a very nice
way to characterize it) caused Ian Jackson to issue the GR. Had we won
that GR, we'd be in a very different world. We came close, our efforts
were repelled, we made our own plans.
