I don't know that it does differ! To be honest, I was trying to reduce the
amount of time I was spending on this discussion (I certainly failed at
that), and therefore was doing the old debian-vote hack of only paying
close attention to proposals that had reached the required number of
seconds and relying on other people to winnow down the number of things I
had to examine in detail. So I have not taken a close look at the
specifics of Thorston's proposal (other than the side point that I don't
think we know whether non-free firmware contains machine learning models
and therefore aren't really in a position to make rules about that).
