Comment on Debian has published the official results for the 2026 GR on LLM usageparent

Comments

Great insight. Let me see what ChatGPT can cook if we classify each. The tally is now available; might be useful.

### Edit

Re-classified using permit, prohibit, materially_restrict or none_of_the_above as I think these are more accurate labels.

Conclusion: All five proposals that continued to permit AI-assisted direct contributions occupy ranks 1 through 5.

The result is:

permit: 15 wins

restrict/prohibit: 0 wins

Every single permit option beat every single restrictive or prohibitive option head-to-head.

ChatGPT’s interpretation: Debian was divided over how AI-assisted contributions should be handled, but not over whether they should remain permissible: all five permissive proposals outranked every proposal that materially restricted or prohibited them, and permissive proposals won all 15 cross-category head-to-head comparisons.
