Fully ACK.

The fact that we need a patch for devotee to increase the number of
options to vote on should motivate us to step back and think again.  For
me the only sensible option is "Further discussion".  I can't rank
sensibly the options I could agree with and discussion here is draining
from my motivation to read this list a lot.
