If there's any disagreement, it would be useless to attempt an expedited
proposal, since it could be made ordinary by announcement. Any fight would
just return to the normal proposal system, though distributed early as it
received 2 support.

And about "voting strength games", any player could reactivate voting
strength on the proposal if they would vote against it. Voting strength
only matters when there's disagreement anyways, and if there is any, it'll
get turned back to ordinary by whichever side wants the voting strength to
be in effect. Or by any player who agrees with the "SHOULD". If everyone
agrees to gamify it, then why not? There's really not more danger than a
normal proposal, anyways, since this is just streamlining the process to
what it can already be at a minimum. Even if you can come up with an
example of how the expedited proposal could be abused, you could also
probably just spot it and turn it ordinary.

Also, this opens up new voting strength games, since expedited proposals
wouldn't have most voting strength modifications applied. A mere SHOULD
might not be enough to stop that.

What's to stop two groups from just fighting over whether something is a
bugfix?

Or, I suppose I should say, the vote would have failed anyways, since
ABSENT is not a valid vote.

ABSENT is not a vote. Did you mean to reply to the one where I attempted to
vote FOR and referenced the context of nix who gave it the number 8960?
