I agree that it should have been, but under the current language of the
voting RFC, it can also be reasonably interpreted to call for a simple
majority. The RFC author chose to go with simple majority and left it
there. Trying to change the requirement mid-vote would be far more
troubling, in my view. Instead, we should discuss clarifying that language
in the voting RFC so that the interpretation is not so subjective in the
future.
The reality is that under the current Voting RFC, it can be interpreted
either way. That said, the RFC authors are obviously biased by definition,
and there’s no reason to attribute more weight to their assessment of the
impact of the RFC than anybody else’s (not just in this case, but always).
That’s one of the issues with the current voting RFC.
