Last year I worked on a bigger rework of our voting rules that tackles this, among other topics - given the many deficiencies of the original Voting RFC (which was hastily drafted, approved with virtually zero discussion, and yet has been considered as some sort of constitution ever since). I admit I didn't have the mental strength to bring it up for discussion but I think our voting rules are in need of a much thorough review than just pushing the limit to 2/3 - which also IMHO doesn't tackle the difference scenarios that exist out there. I think it would make sense to start discussing that (as well as the abolish-narrow-margins RFC along with it if you prefer to put it to a vote) as soon as we're done with the 7.3 contents, and in preparation for 7.4/8.0 (i.e. around the September/October timeframe). We could of course start discussing it sooner, but at least I don't think it makes sense to vote on either of these right now. Zeev
