The voting time is a separate discussion all together. In principle, we could replace the approved/rejected status with supported/not-supported. When a mapper is looking for a tag, he will see not only the amount of uses, but also the level of support (and also for the negative votes—the reasoning). This will make him able to decide whether or not he wants to use that tag. We can therefore do three things now: - Leave everything as is and continue the discussion. - Correct the math by voting for my proposal and then continue the discussion - Develop a new formula first. The current situation is that there are open proposals, so in my opinion it would help to at least resolve the unclarity we agreed on. So just to repeat: I agree with the whole argument about the drawbacks of the current discussion and voting system. But until we have a better one let's at least make the current one not self-contradictory. The discussion may take forever and not actually result in anything. Let's make the first change for the better now, and then try to make it great. Cheers, Kotya
