My opinion on this is:
If a problem is hairy and people disagree on options, discussing it at
lengths in big threads that may repeat what has already been said, it
means that a lot of work is needed to understand the issue from all its
relevant dimensions; involved people, the one who write posts about it,
have specific point of views and if no agreement can be reached, it is
because it is difficult to grok the point of view of someone else, or to
explain convincingly why it is maybe not an interesting point of view.
Anyway. The last thing I would like in such a situation is a community
vote. Because a vote does not explain anything, a vote does not tell if
the voter understand anything whatsoever about the problem being
discussed, a vote does not give any clue about the voter motivation and
involvement. The vote does not bring anything constructive, so why bother ?
my 2 cents,
Stef
