Community Sentiment Polling Results (NU4) and draft ZIP 1014

[tromer]

@Anton1

Can you clarify why the second election is taking place? Where it was voiced initially, why in the elections they consider only a new proposal and a proposal that won last time and which does not accept ECC?
The future has already been chosen, but because ECC said that this proposal will not work, everything is done in order to give the community a second chance to do everything “right.”

As the author of ZIP 1012, I’m happy that it’s not just implemented verbatim. Clearly, more discussion and honing were needed, once the community could focus its attention on a single proposal. And consequently, a second round is needed to express approval on these changes.

I suggested something very much like this back in November:

@tromer

it seems like we need at least 2 rounds of discussion and sentiment-gathering . A first one to narrow down the proposals down to (say) 3 leading candidates, to serve as seeds . Then a second round of discussions should focus on these three approaches, explore their issues and variants, and culminate in perhaps a dozen concrete and executable proposals that serve as a final menu for sentiment analysis and decision.

What ZF ended up doing is even better, with a single “framework” proposal to read (ZIP 1014), plus a menu of focused changes.
