The vote data may still be useful in picking priorities, but it makes little sense to pick a "winner" in the usual way, or to do anything to discourage work towards lower priority aims. That's one reason why I can't agree with the initial proposal (apart from the big stack of non-answers to my first reply to it): it pretty much perpetually pooh-poohs several aims, rather than declaring some aims to be more important than others. I think that was a mistake with the sarge-ignore GR and is part of the reason we're back here now. Can we get a release out in a timely way without chilling and insulting help?
