Well, it depends what you want from the group. PR tries to please
everyone somewhat, so may select a winning group with a wider support
base but not really make anyone totally happy. Condorcet tries to elect
a group who win the most paired elections, so may select a winning group
with strong support of a majority but that are loathed by the minority.
My original (and hence your post to squeak-dev) did say we'd be using
Condorcet, not PR. Do we want to change this post-announcement?
