Considering only 2*, if we were to vote today, my vote would probably be:
2-R > 2-R' > 2-S > 2 > FD
I'm assuming your vote would be:
2 > 2-S > 2-R' > 2-R > FD
This is hard to reconcile. But I don't think that a ballot with several
options is necessarily very bad, as our voting system handles those
cases just fine.

What we should focus on is ensuring that it remains easy for everybody
to understand and rank the various options. I think that we are in
agreement with the various pros and cons of the various options: maybe
options proposers could write together a short document explaining how
the various options compare, and that document could be on the vote
page? Also, it would make sense to order options on the ballot using the
amount of churn they would produce as a metric, so that the above two
votes would be 12345 and 43215, rather than 34215 :)

At this point I don't plan to propose anything else.
