That's unfortunate.

A.3.1:

"After the discussion period has ended, the Project Secretary will publish 
the ballot and call for a vote. The Project Secretary may do this 
immediately following the end of the discussion period and must do so 
within seven days of the end of the discussion period."

>It is too rush to start to vote for this within 3 weeks 

Does this maybe sound like the GR call was premature?
The project consensus, especially after 
https://www.debian.org/vote/2021/vote_003, seems to say that we don't want 
multi-month GR discussions.
