Excerpt: Srivastava told ZDNet Australia this morning there were two possible reasons for the low turnout. The first was, he said, the prospect that "the divisive debates in the last 12 months about the [Debian] Social Contract, AMD64 in Sarge and the Vancouver Prospectus have disillusioned a number of developers and driven others to apathy". This could mean "the project is coming apart at the seams, the social structure unravel as it fails to meet the stresses of growth". However, Srivastava reckons the more likely reason is that voters are spoilt for choice. "This year, we have a strong field, with several strong candidates offering viable options, and with a far better IRC debate between the candidates than has been the norm." In addition, "the platforms of the candidates are well reasoned and sane". This meant voters were likely "taking their time to work through their choices."
