[Mpi-forum] ticket 273

[Richard Graham]

We need a clear set of rules, which we follow, regardless of how we feel about the outcome.

<note to self: don't eat Jeff's brownies> :-)

There are scenarios we need to address in the voting, though.  Votes that go 1/0/15 shouldn't pass.  Votes that go 6/5/5 probably shouldn't pass.  Votes that go 8/1/7 clearly suck, and we should stop doing that!

Seriously, though, it is not immediately clear that an 8/1/7 vote should pass.  If there is that much apathy about a ticket, does the standard need to grow?
