That's one of the reasons why I consider voting as default way wrong. It
might be a way to solve ties if a consensus can't be reached.
It is unclear what a "no" means. Might be a related to the patch the
design, a misunderstanding or due to a critical issue ... in the end a
vote creates "losers" with little feedback.
But well, I'm saying this from day one of the voting.
