I would interpret the results remarkable different from that. A high
percentage of active contributors chose not to vote. Without much hassle I
can easily name 9 who participate in development of Avalon who have not voted
for your proposal.
Some of these people are the same ones who would be ejected from Avalon
according to the scope you decided on. Others have a different reason not to
vote. Many of those who did not vote had expressed dissatisfaction with what
you decided in the [PROPOSAL] thread. However rather than try to reach
consensus with the group you chose to go with your own vision instead.
Thus the low level of involvement in the vote - even though it is a
significant issue for our evolution.
