On a side note, there is a bug in the vote counting software or its 
configuration where it would generate a nonsensical result that also 
violates explicit wording of the constitution in a corner case.

The constitution says:

  An option A defeats the default option D by a majority ratio N, if 
  V(A,D) is greater or equal to N * V(D,A) and V(A,D) is strictly great

>From the latest systemd GR[1]:

  * Option5 passes Majority. 2.185 (271/124) >= 1
  * Dropping Option6 because of Majority. 0.808 (173/214) <= 1

>= 1 is not strictly great, and an option both passing the majority 
requirement and being dropped for failing the majority at the same
time in the = 1 case would not make sense.
