Wouldn't it have been great if the various factions around the systemd issue had got the idea early on to try to stuff the committee with their respective friends before the decision. Personally I think there's more than enough voting going on as it is, and adding reasons to have more regular votes will just promote the idea (that is already rather hard to dissuade people of) that all one needs to do is vote for a thing, and somehow it will magically do itself. It does not strike me as obvious that popularity correlates to competence. Also, it would not be helpful if members of the committee were tempted to take the popular side of an argument, against their better judgement, because they were coming to the end of their term, and they would like to be reelected.
