This doesn't answer the criticisms already listed above against such a
method, which are a little severe:

* One person can set up 30 accounts, make a single click of the box,
and then have access to 30 votes worth
* This method allows *anyone* from *anywhere* to vote. However, do we
really want someone not involved in openSUSE in any way to have a say
in electing the people that are set to lead the openSUSE project?

Kind thoughts,
