With a 6 to 1 majority voting yes for the change, it does seem a little odd that we were looking for a greater than 50% of all possible voters.
Now that everyone that would actually bother to vote has voted, perhaps we could have a quick referendum on this and other 'issues' in the constitution. Everyone should have their ssh key's setup, and know how the process works, so it would be considerably less hassle... :) Thoughts? Nathan.
