as someone who in a former life was part of creating news groups and
such I can only say bad things about "public voting" in an
environment like this. It just doesn't work and just doesn't measure
anything useful.

If you can answer 

  Who should be able to vote and why?
  How do you control that only those people vote?

then we can move on to the next obstacles. There is plenty to go.
The whole concept is just flawed. Votes like this is in best case
just a skewed opinion poll.

Besides, we already got consensus that we don't like it some months
ago on the bootstrap list.
