What happens if the poll indicates support for only publishing Manu's draft, but not Ian's? Does that mean that effectively we are indicating that we want to discontinue Ian's draft with Ian as editor and instead use Manu's draft with Manu as editor? Or are we expecting Ian to pick up Manu's draft? If the former, is that something Manu is willing to do? If the latter, at what disgression does Ian have to remove the warnings as they have to be removed at some point I would imagine (at latest when going into candidate recommendation?) Or is the answer something altogether different given that this is just a poll and not a formal vote? / Jonas
