What is important to me is that: a) We don't vote RFCs with low margins in the meantime. As a show of good faith, it would be nice to adjust the vote in the JIT RFC to require a 2/3 majority. b) The voting margin question is resolved separately from other concerns. I very specifically do not want this bundled with anything else. I don't want the voting margin adjustment to fail because of other changes bundled in the same RFC. Conversely, I do not want other changes in the same RFC to pass simply because it's the only way to get the voting margin changes. Nikita
