Question: whose votes are binding on this vote? committers? PMC members? everyone?
Also, many have voted for 2 options and with fractions. To me the fractional voting makes sense with a binary up-or-down vote. It's meant to signal strength of support for a motion. But with multiple choice, I'm not sure it makes as much sense. E.g. I could vote +1 for C and -1 for B -- then in effect my vote counts 2 times! But that doesn't sound right to me. For multiple choice votes, ranked choice voting probably makes the most sense.
