That's too bad. I understand the desire to avoid introducing anything that might lead to instability, but this is a usability fix. Considering that there's about two weeks left of voting (we're on at what? Day two?), I feel like making this change would ensure a better voting experience.
The problem right now is that you can't see all your votes on one page, so it's hard to count the number of votes you've selected at a glance. This could lead to people voting for fewer than the number of seats available, or an annoying experience where there's no live feedback if they pick more than seven candidates. I don't know what process is for getting this change in, but I humbly ask members of the board to consider passing a motion to make this change ASAP. I appreciate the change in the language -- and improving the appearance of the error message. Could you provide a screenshot of the error message since I can't vote again to test it.
