1) The IETF doesn't do voting, Dan. "No Kings or Ballots", remember?
2) We also are a rough consensus based organization. There is no
consensus for what you are asking for, based on the amount of dissent.
3) Not all of us even *could* vote. I believe you have rigged your
host's mail system to systematically reject email sent by many addresses
(including my own). Thus, it would not be possible for me to vote.

Myself, I wish that we would quit paying attention to trivia like this
microoptimization and just get work done.
