I like the idea of a vote **not** because I believe that language design is some kind of democracy (really, where do people get these ideas?) but because language design is partly UI design, UI design is guided by users, and one way to get user feedback is a vote. Ideally, it would be more than a thumbs up/down. As I said, for me, the feature is not very important either way, I mostly don't like it, but it doesn't make me turn away from Nim.
As @dom96 said, 1.0 is on the way, and the time to clean up warts is before a 1.0 is released.
