JFTR, I think it is good to have the *possibility* of voting even on
technical issues - in case a prior decision went totally wrong, but it
shouldn't be the *normal* way. (Which doesn't mean a poll "how do you
like the fancy new design" is a bad idea, but only as a poll, not as a
binding vote.)
Cheers,
Andi
