Hi,
You actually propose two separate amendments. Please don't do that, it smells
of politics. :-/

I think I like this change.

- 3. Any (non-default) option which does not defeat the default option
- by its required majority ratio is dropped from consideration.
The point of wording it the "old" way was that any option which is ranked
below the default by a majority is removed before starting the algorithm.
That is intentional; otherwise, a case can be constructed where such an
option could win, which is Not Good.
I'd reject this change.
