Debian Is Voting on Eight Different LLM Policies at Once, From a Social Contract Ban to 'Here to Stay'
Debian's general resolution on LLM contributions has eight options on the ballot, ranging from Proposal A's total prohibition via Social Contract amendment (needing a 3:1 majority) and Ian Jackson's Proposal C ban, through Proposal B's six-condition permission regime, to Proposal H arguing LLM usage accelerates ecological destruction. Project Lead Sruthi Chandran extended voting by a week; fewer than 350 ballots were in at publication. The scope is 69,830 packages, 403 GB and 1.46 billion lines of code, which makes this the largest distribution to put the question to a formal vote.
