I also think that -5 should automatically pull the vote down to proposal, as no package should get in that has that much dissent. I think pear people have demonstrated that they vote professionally, I don't anticipate personal quarrels causing packages to be blown away. Also, if that ever happens, the PEAR group can step in. Once a package is downgraded, existing votes would simply be erased (essentially allowing vote change, but in a more systematic way). Greg OK, I misspelled again,

I wanted to point out that the proposal system wastes proposer's energy introducing some long period without response (ok, it's up to the proposer to provoke more discussion) I never doubt on the vote systm that with pre-vote should only tease up the stuff -- bertrand Gugger (toggg)
