I'm afraid I've always preferred a default hierarchy for voting that looks like caste; makes medium-term politics more interesting and worth playing. For "limiting" read "requires a play style beyond just the weekly vote counting; you have to work a bit with a current power structure rather than just assuming anyone can get something past". That to me is fun while just "keeping up with the CEO's earnings report" is boring, it's obviously the flip side for you :) While several of you may disagree, may I suggest that removing caste is a separate-enough political issue that it deserves its own proposal? -G.
