After I announced the results, someone started asking people to vote
anyway if they were against the result. Nobody asked those that were in
favor to continue voting. If you look at the results, the first 15 votes
are the results I announced on -qa@.

You can't please everybody. Some people are happy with the change, some
people are against the change, and the people against the change agreed
that it should be turned off by default. However, according to the poll,
a large majority (10 for, 5 against, including an anonymous voter -- you
might want to find a way to fix that in your poll) apparently preferred
to have it enabled by default.
I don't see what a discussion on -devel@ would bring. We are unlikely to
come up with a better choice of solutions than what we already have
(keep it on by default, revert the change and make it disabled by
default).
