The way I see it, we make decisions based on consensus, not numbers. On procedural issues we define consensus to be the majority opinion, but there's a clear reservation for cases where it's unclear whether the measured majority is representative of the whole community. This vote has made it quite clear that we have a much deeper disagreement over the status of incubating releases, and that we really should reach some consensus on that before nailing down decisions on release distribution.
