There are reports from people on IRC that they got confused by the
change and voted the reverse of what they meant. Sadly there is no way
to change your vote after it's been case, so if there is a nontrivial
number of such people, we may want to redo the vote.
Serious suggestion: maybe the vote invitation email (or something similar)
should explain in more detail how the voting is to be done if it is
non-trivial?
1) I did not expect that picking proportional representation would
change the UI so dramatically. And since I did not know what it would
look like, I could hardly describe it in detail.
2) The UI in general could be improved, to put it mildly. Even for
"normal" votes there is the potential point of confusion that more
preferred candidates are higher visually, but have a lower numerical
rank. So a statements like "X ranks higher than Y" could potentially
be interpreted either way.
3) People generally dislike parsing long detailed explanations. Making
the text longer could cause more voters to misinterpret it, or not
bother reading it at all.
So while I'm all for improving descriptions, it's not all that easy to
do. Patches welcome.
Unlike in the previous vote, this one had you write a number. That alone
made me double check, and it indeed gives you an explanation of how
weight value works.
