Adding a "no" option would make things very complicated. You see,
the "yes" option needs a supermajority. The "no" option would not.
That would give us a ballot with mixed supermajority and normal majority
options. Our voting system is currently not able to deal with that
in a sane way; we'd need to upgrade it somehow first. Hmm, there's
a nice proposal floating around for doing exactly that, where did we
put it?
