Reading this in LWN reminds me that I would don't agree with this interpretation. I'd probably vote both the 3:1 option and the 1:1 above NOTA. This is because I believe that if enough of us agree, we should update the Social Contract to explain how our non-free-firmware section works, and what the images provide. If the 3:1 option didn't pass, that wouldn't mean I don't stand behind the 1:1 option of including non-free-firmware on images. It just means we didn't get enough votes to change the SC. Voting for the 3:1 option shouldn't effectively bury the 1:1 option, or vice-versa. The point of ranked-choice voting is to be able to select either of two acceptable options.
