Why are you even asking if you're not going to provide any feedback on my answer and act as if I had agreed with the proposal?

I'm in a favour of a separate git repo, but I think it would make more sense to have all the docs there, not only the binaries.

I think everyone had a chance to provide feedback about this and we've come to an agreement, so I think it's time to close it.

LGTM, even though I don't really understand the motivation for the change.

I agree that decisions should be based on technical grounds and I also agree that anyone else on the team should take the decision away from me if I want to make a decision based on other criteria.

Either way, it seems pretty clear that my first proposal is not welcome by Leah. Let's see what others think and note that I'd be fine with my 2nd proposal too.

It doesn't really matter what we call upstream or downstream IMO. Let's just say both project diverged from libettereboot and thus have a common ancestor.

Andrew, it seems that we had rushed into the decision of this organization without fully understanding the implications of libreboot being a paper downstream version.

> Paul, having a coding style for contributors to stick to isn't superfluous as you seem to imply; it's to keep the code from looking like a patchwork quilt when multiple contributors are working on the code, which makes it quite important.
