There are a number of dangling [VOTE] threads that seem to devolve

"[RESULT][VOTE]" messages were posted.
In ASF parlance, these all seem to be procedural votes, so simple
majority works (unless the Commons PMC has a well-established
practice
that differs) -- apart from the important effort to achieve a
consensus result, where possible, by addressing possible cures for -1
votes.
A couple negative votes were cast, without proposing an alternative
other than the status quo.
And, of course, only the votes by PMC members are binding,
with due respect to community votes in striving for consensus as well
as it can be achieved.
The (non-binding) majority was in favour of creating the new
components proposed to the votes, and indicated a willingness to
work on a "reduced" CM (i.e. maintainable by the people currently
around).
However, the very low participation of binding voters and the
overall negative comments for anything but the status quo make
it fairly unlikely that the new components will get the three
necessary binding votes for release.
There's a reason for this parliamentary business: arriving at clear
conclusions and direction. It may be that there is no such thing for
the [MATH] dilemma.
What dilemma?
It would be good to have even that clarified.
I did try to explain (with rationale, examples and numbers) that
it was ample time to try something else; and I proposed my view
of that "something".
Most PMC members seem to wish that CM becomes dormant.
I totally agree with you that it would be good to have _that_
clarified.
