Well the non-coding parts might accept it.  The problem with voting is that
it is an emotional choice when it comes to people who are voting and are
not part of development.  Which can lead to all kinds of conflicts in
trying to decide how things develop.

If we had voting, we would have had to revert everything and go back to
GNOME 1.  While at the same time people will be voting to update
everything.  It's just wrong.

But decision making for teams like marketing might work okay if we restrict
to a particular set of people.  Kind of like having commit access, you get
to vote when you put in the time.
