I can't think of any vote in the (recent) past that shouldn't have
happened. Can you point at one?

I'd like to see other options too, for, say Q/3, Q/2, 10, 15. This would
allow us to compromise on what people think is necessary, without being
restricted by your arbitrary choice of Q and 2Q. Could you add those to
your proposed resolution, so people can second all of them at the same
time and reduce the number of emails on -vote@?

I would like to have such an option as well.
