The following two emails represent the summarization of voting on the matter that took place the other day.  <br><br>The technicalities of how they analyzed the votes to come to conclusion are reasonably interesting.  <br>
<br>All members of the committee voted on all the options, which led to various "pairwise defeats" of a number of the options, bringing the feasible options down to ( U, D ) (e.g. - Upstart and SystemD).  Chairman BDale held a further deciding vote, which went to SystemD.<br>
