I would prefer to deal with this in the same resolution, as I have
already said. I'm sorry that I didn't make sure Kurt was properly
involved in the drafting.

For me, a desire to cancel the vote would follow directly from being
upset that the vote had started. But this whole thread has
demonstrated to me in many ways that what I think is obvious is far
from uncontentious.

I think Steve's failure to rank FD first is probably a procedural
error on his part. I've tried to catch him on IRC but not had a clear
response yet.
Or perhaps he feels it would be rude to rank FD first to try to vote
down what he felt was a premature CFV. But as I have said I think
that's exactly what FD is for. FD means precisely "further
discussion". So, Steve, if that's what's holding you back please do
change your vote.
Ian.
