If you have a specific proposal how to make the votes more informed, you are most welcome. Protesting the result of a specific vote, post-vote, on the grounds that "these guys don't know what they're talking about" - does not seem very useful to me. Primarily because this argument can be applied to virtually any vote and there's no way to arrive at a practical conclusion distinguishing valid vote from invalid based on it - anybody can claim that if his side lost then the other side didn't know what they're talking about. If is a possibility that this may indeed happen - our current voting system has very few safeguards against uninformed voting and all you need to vote is a committer access, which doesn't make one an expert in everything. But protesting result of a particular vote is not the way to fix the problem, if it exists. -- Stas Malyshev smalyshev@gmail.com
