It may seem so, but in fact voting is just a pastime of a tiny minority 
of OSMers; the vast majority don't care for either the process or the 
results. Voting on new tags is as much current practice as, say, tagging 
lampposts or park benches - some do it with fervour, most don't care. 
Which is ok - anyone has the right to tag lampposts or to vote. As long 
as they let the others do their thing.

Bye
Frederik
