Why on earth does it needs [3:1] whereas it wasn't needed for:
http://www.debian.org/vote/2006/vote_007

Same question somehow applies here.

Unless I'm mistaken this shouldn't be [3:1] as it's specifically allowed
by the § about delegates in the constitution. "Delegates shall take
decision they see fit". What should be [3:1] is to dis-empower them from
having such rights.

Why GPL ? Why not BSD ? Why not "DFSG" ?


And FWIW I still believe this vote is an horrible mix-up of really
different things, is completely confusing, and I've no clue how to vote.
I would be surprised other people don't think the same.

E.g. How can I decide 2 _and_ 4 ? Does the rule change ? Does any
resolution that wins overs Further Discussion will be validated ?
Because unless I'm mistaken, 2 doesn't imply 4, so if 2 wins, 4 is
invalidated.

This vote is nonsensical, and I'm hereby calling people to rank FD first
or to boycott it. This is a practical joke.
