They've been consolidating proposals in the last few days as it became more and more likely that a general mandate for everyone didn't have enough support.

As I understand it, the last remaining proposals were from the SPD-Grüne-FDP coalition with a mandate for people aged 60+ (that failed), a proposal from the CDU opposition with some kind of vague conditional mandate in the future (that died too and wasn't even supported by parts of their own party) and a couple of proposals against any kind of mandate from smaller parties (not sure if they still voted on those but they wouldn't have passed anyway).
