I guess we cannot just resume the canceled vote and I think there's
already been too much confusion, so I'll start a new vote now. Sorry for
the trouble.
Regarding the voting period, can we start a vote with an undetermined
end and let it run until we get all the votes that we need?
I'll start it with the 3 day period nonetheless. If someone objects in a
few weeks and convinces the rest of us, we could probably revert this
change without too much effort.
