The TC is also highly technical competent (what courts usually aren't), 
and I have gotten valuable advice from them without actually being 
overruled. I'd rather want to see them as an advisory body with 
additional powers and I would love to see the TCs role in the project 
strengthened, for example by giving them the power to decide or suggest 
things without being asked. You all know that my pet peeve is that 
Debian doesn't have technical leadership.
