Makes sense. I suppose the 2/3 instead of 1/2 is to protect against the possibility that several developers simply don't read/follow a certain thread? How about 1.01/2 then (i.e. if more than half of the vote participants are in favor)? This only differs from 2/3 if the vote total is at least 5 (because a 3/5 vote would pass but 3/5 < 2/3). Or do you propose 2/3 for a different reason? If we do want to make this a rule (i.e. add to Development.lyx), we should also specify the amount of time to wait (e.g. one week from when the time the proposal is made on this list) for which the votes should be counted.
