My main concern was about the potential for vote-splitting with multiple "council" type proposals on the ballot, and IRV is enough to address that (having been an Australian voter for ~22 years, I'm also very familiar with it, and given the specific set of proposals we're voting on, I don't think the case where STAR would give a different answer is likely to come up - the various draft PEPs have too much in common with either each other or the status quo for it to be likely that a significant proportion of the folks voting will find any of them completely unacceptable) Cheers, Nick. -- Nick Coghlan | ncogh...@gmail.com | Brisbane, Australia _______________________________________________ python-committers mailing list python-committers@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-committers Code of Conduct: https://www.python.org/psf/codeofconduct/
