Wow... Seriously, pointing out such differences just splits the community. "Hey, my vote counts! Yours doesn't!" After seeing the people involved in the incubator at AC US, I'm pretty sure they were all past the stage of being impressed by such things. We should get over ourselves.
There is another viewpoint here that had better be considered, though ... we invite the community to participate in these votes, and I can guarantee you that the majority of people who are reading the vote thread have never bothered to read the rules on what votes count (indeed, they are more likely than not to be unaware there IS such a thing as binding versus non-binding votes). Are you really preferring that we HIDE the fact that their (non-PMC members) vote doesn't officially count (although it does influence consensus), and have them go away pissed off because they thought they were misled?
