(For context, both Mateusz Konieczny and myself have abstained, along<br>
with 3 others, but had comments expressing concern about using<br>
"give_box" instead of "free_box" or something easier to understand.)<br>
<br>
But hypothetically, what if there were even more comments expressing<br>
reservations. This time it was over 25%, but what if it was 40% or<br>
even 50%?<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>Actually, in the past we always have counted every kind of comment (vote yes / no and abstain) as part of the total, which indeed led to the situation that an (explicit) abstention effectively counted like a no-vote.</div><div>Are we going to change this now?

Since the idea of this process is to reach consensus about a tag,<br>

One thing that might help would be to recommend a comment along with<br>
positive votes. Right now you can vote to approve without saying<br>
anything about the objections voiced, and the template suggest this is<br>
the usual way to do it.<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>You can (and some do) agree with a comment, I would not require this, at the time of voting, there already have been lots of discussions and shared arguments, usually, so a confirmation of the result should be sufficient.</div><div><br></div><div>Cheers</div><div>Martin<br></div></div><div><br></div></div>
