In many formal organizations, a quorum is required in order to make a decision of this nature. Since some of you are trying to handle this matter in an organized fashion, you need a quorum. A quorum is usually defined as a "majority" of the members eligible to vote (>50%). As of right now, I count 20 names that have participated in this thread alone. Since 10 people doesn't constitute a majority, you shouldn't hold the voting results as valid. Your organized attempt at organizing has not yet succeeded.
Not voting on this issue doesn't imply either a yes or a no vote, nor does it imply approval of the outcome. Things aren't black-and-white. I haven't voted because I don't want a moderated list, but at the same time I'm sick of hearing a few people whine about wanting more organization and I wish someone would shut them up. Neither a yes or no vote satisfies both aspects of how I feel, and casting an "abstain" vote would imply that I will accept the outcome of the vote either way.
Let's move on now. Talk about Linux geek stuff, not a BS bureaucracy.
