pretty strong arguments to the contrary.

ear that in this table, when voters merely exaggerate
their preferences, which is a natural human tendency, Range Voting
degrades from ~95% VSI to ~78% VSI while Condorcet-LR degrades from
85% to 42%. OUCH! It seems like even a small amount of strategic
voting in Condorcet would push its perform
asy to give
people the option of including a Range Voting ballot along with their
Condorcet ranking in the next DPL election. It would be very
interesting to see how the two correlate, both on the individual level
and on the ultimate decision level.

obably be seen as "looking good" for Debian, which would also lead a
rational Debian voter to cast a more veridical ballot. There is also
a natural human tendency towards honesty and generosity, which in this
case would manifest as not casting zeros for people who don't really
seem to show that they are much less
harmful (less likely, and when they occur less likely to result in a
really poor candidate being elected) than analogous circumstances with
Condorcet.

It is pretty straightforward to add some extra candidates whose
existence causes voters
itical places, and Debian seems particularly ripe for
adopting this improvement, minor though it might be compared to
Debian's current rather good voting sytem.

again not any of the
top three "honest" options, but is instead X, even though every single
voter believes X a worse option than any of the three options A, B, C.
So having an X on the ballot doesn't help.

*would* have won an honest Condorcet election, you'd be better off
having a Range Voting election and encouraging people to vote
strategically. That is a strength of Range Voting, not a weakness.

which would leave no opportunity for strategic voting. But that's no
great trick, since there are only two candidates. With >2 candidates,
it is easy to make examples where strategic voting by Range Voting
voters would make sense.

I myself am *very* happy to have other Debian people (DDs, DMs) git
push and dput fixes to any of "my" packages. No need for an MNU or
delay or permission: just do it. Zero friction. In the unlikely event
you do something I'm uncomfortable with I'll just revert it and
discuss.
