I would favor a system where the "owner" or "maintainer" of a feature or bug 
gets to make the final decision on a particular solution using whichever method 
he/she thinks is appropriate. The owner could use a Coin Flip, Voting, Delta, 
Six Hats or any other decision process to arrive at the solution.

No decision making techique is perfect. What matters is that the issue needs 
to be closed and we move forward. We will only know if decision is good or bad 
by hindsight. That is a risk that we have to take.

(I hope this doesn't become yet another looooooong dangling thread ;-)).
