Though he insists on claiming to be "neutral" Ian's position explained in the latter link was to rank E (the only thing rejected more firmly than Further Discussion in this vote in the end) near the top. Option E purports to force every Debian contributor to do the heavy lifting for the systemd refuseniks, their desires are "Required" by the project to be implemented.

Actually, with a tiny amount of human insight, what Option E forces is really either: Another vote to kick out the refuseniks because this is intolerable OR most Debian contributors quit and the project gradually stagnates.

The Diziet sobriquet seems appropriate. Diziet Sma is the Special Circumstances agent "running" the win-at-all-costs mercenary Zakalwe in Iain M Banks' novel "Use of Weapons". Win-at-all-costs is a reasonable strategic choice in the last place we see Zakalwe (the War on Hells in "Surface Detail") but it's probably a bad idea in a volunteer project like Debian.
