I agree with this. We could end up with a different system if we look at
this holistically. Also, I'm not sure what the urgency in making this
change is. I'd rather be thoughtful about a substantive change like this.
It might help to articulate the goals of the voting system. I agree with
the gut feel that 50%+1 is a weak test, but that really depends on what's
being tested. If we can articulate goals in the RFC, that will also help
inform how the community approaches writing RFCs.
I have some concerns that a very high bar will make it difficult to change
extensions if their users aren't well-represented here.
Thanks,
Adam
