Q-015 — all fourteen decisions ruled and applied¶
The batch is closed. Decisions 1–2 were ruled individually on 2026-08-30;
decisions 3 and 4 the same morning; the maintainer then directed "go with all
the recommended steps" for the remainder, and every recommendation was applied
with its own commit. docs/QUESTIONS.md carries each ruling in place;
dispositions.md, parity-coverage.md and not-carried.md carry the
consequences. The dispositions summary now reads zero NEEDS-DECISION in
every column.
| # | Unit | Ruling | Where it landed |
|---|---|---|---|

| 10 | FoxTelem |
Post-1.0 pending an AMSAT constellation census | CARRY, outstanding with reason |
| 11 | M0IAX |

RETIRE; packet profile documents the web UI |

Out of 1.0 scope, not out of favour; post-1.0 on demand | RETIRE with reason |
| 14 | supersdr (bookkeeping) |
