I have reviewed the full discussion thread.
I see 3 +1's from GNU Maintainers:
* Paul Eggert
* Joseph Myers
* Carlos O'Donell
The following developers have also given a +1:
* DJ Delorie
* Yann Droneaud
* Adhemerval Zanella
* Zack Weinberg
* Samuel Thibault
I note that Richard Stallman (GNU Project lead) has insisted that
there is more to discuss before this issue can be decided. Given
the current wait of ~1.5 years, and no progress on the issue,
I consider it a failing of the GNU Project to give timely input
on the matter. It seems clear to me that we can move forward on
this and discuss other issues separately.
I note that Alexandre Oliva (GNU Maintainer, FSF board member)
has asked we delay the decision. This was a sensible request,
request 1.5 years ago, but it is no longer a sensible request.
The status of the GNU Project and the FSF are issues to be
discussed in other venues, and they impact the glibc project only
in as much as some kind of governance change would impact glibc.
This looks like glibc project consensus to push the change.
Consensus need not imply unanimity.
Florian please feel free to push the change.
