Soon enough, just as has happened in Aspen (CO) and Burlington (VT), the weaknesses of IRV counting will get exposed. In the meantime, just getting people to talk about, and think about, the possibility of better ballots and better counting methods is a wonderful development.
I just hope that won't lead to a false confusion of IRV with ranked balloting itself and thus thoughts that ranked balloting can't work because IRV blows up spectacularly in an n-way race with n > 2.
