It sounds silly, but this issue was the one that prompted me to run for TalkBoard. I couldn't see the sense of the soft no, and a majority of the TB favored fixing it, but they never could get 6 votes to do so.
I thank bhatnasx for proposing the public announcements that really energized the discussion, making the arguments, showing support, and most of all encouraging TalkBoard members to re-think the issue. I have learned that sometimes we need a live proposal to promote discussion if the issue is complex.
I believe the new rule will be stable and that we will see very few Abstains from now on.
