    Requests that a contentious ongoing discussion on libc-alpha be kept off-topic for this meeting, citing urgent needs for the glibc project to address a "catastrophic process failure".

    “I recognize that this is a meeting about a whole bunch of things and not just the argument presently taking place on libc-alpha, but I have to ask that the *topic* of that argument be declared off-topic for this meeting.”
