In the interests of "stability" ... I'd suggest:
----
Each non-VM LS may post +1, -1 or abstain (which can cancel out a previous +1
or -1 vote). The last vote posted is that user's final vote. The aggregate of
those from the LAV will be -1 unless the total +1s exceed the -1s by at least
10%, in which case it is +1.
All -1s, whether from VM or non-VM, SHOULD include a reason, as in what is
preventing them from voting +1, so that patches to that effect could be
proposed.
----
The first paragraph here introduces a mild bias towards caution. The second
introduces a mild bias towards progress (which is not the same as change).
Note that the abstain here is slightly based on the "=0" option for voting on
perlmonks - before that was introduced, someone could accidentally click on a
++ or -- and have no way to undo that click without reloading the page prior
to submitting other votes.
And thus, my vote for your proposal, Matt, is: "-1, because it's missing these
modifications." :)
