That's a good question.  I'd like to see a summary of feedback and open
issues.  [NTS: we need an 'Issues' tab alongside Talk pages]
Some common points made in Meta discussions that remain unaddressed:

Oveararching:
* No sufficient mechanism for revision / self-correction   [*and no
'partial support' option, as Z. said. leaving a 'no' as the only way to
push for other revisions*]

Basic concerns:
⁑ Mandatory? training
⁑ Mandatory? pledge‽
⁑ No right to be heard
⁑ Easy to troll + game

Broader concerns:
⁂ Long / confusing text, hard to translate, harder to apply evenly
⁂ Could override rather than support local community governance
⁂ Feels WMF-driven rather than community-driven ...
⁂  ... could become time-eating bureaucracy regardless of benefit


The construction of vote procedure did not allow for partial support (one I
