It's not the default as such but more a safety net to what is used if the type of vote isn't specified in the VOTE email or covered by any of the other guidelines (ie very rarely). It's only been used one once that I can recall on what everyone thought was a consensus vote anyway. (Sorry I couldn't find the vote in question.) I certainly can't recall it causing any contention or conflict. Thanks, Justin
