Debian GR - vote without thinking?

[diziet]

I was shown a link to a twitter post in which a DD encourages using a curl pastebin | mutt rune to vote. The rune looked like it had been debugged, so the poster put at least a little work into developing it.

I think this is rather poor. I think you should make up your own mind. That is why I have written three blog posts to encourage you to help with drafting alternatives during the discussion started by the DPL, understand the options on the ballot, and most conveniently deal with devotee's ballot format.

But of course maybe providing such a pre-cooked rune will enable people to vote who are otherwise too busy. It's certainly important that we get good turnout. If you are too busy, and you trust my judgement, then you could run:

mutt -H <(curl https://people.debian.org/~iwj/thoughtless-vote.txt )

or

curl https://people.debian.org/~iwj/thoughtless-ballot.txt | gpg --clearsign | mail gr_initsystems@vote.debian.org

Since you can change your vote up to the deadline of 23:59:59 UTC on Friday 2019-12-27, you could run a rune like that now and then change your vote later if you get time to think about it properly.

Obviously it would be best for you to read something like my voting guide and make up your own mind. But maybe it would be better to run my rune than not vote at all? Up to you I guess.
