The general resolution ballot ranges 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 Register). Scope is 69,830 packages, 403 GB and 1.46 billion lines of code, making this the largest distribution to put the question to a formal vote. Eight options on one ballot usually means the community hasn't converged enough for any of them to pass cleanly.
