Note that the winning option of that GR ("GFDL-licensed works without
unmodifiable sections are free") did in fact achieve a 3:1 supermajority,
even though it was not required to.
For comparison, the other options did not achieve a 3:1 supermajority. The
first option, "GFDL-licensed works are unsuitable for main in all cases",
came close to, but didn't achieve a 2:1 supermajority, while the third
option, "GFDL-licensed works are compatible with the DFSG", didn't
achieve a simple majority, let alone the 3:1 supermajority required of it.
