If you want to make this decision making process based on objective criteria you have to tell us how you want to measure all this. Stating this is only 2% of the work :)
Voting, aka "wisdom of the crowds" aka decision markets?
For the popularity criteria voting is okay. You just have to figure out who is eligible for a vote and how to vote and stuff but voting for stability or features sounds wrong to me...
Now I'm confused. I never mentioned voting for stability. And voting for features is done in openFATE right now - and either I understand you that you want the voting removed (and then see lots of +1 in the comments ;-( ) or - and that's the purpose of my write up: What does voting for features mean? How to interpret it?
Okay lets start from the beginning. What are you talking about here? I understood that you are talking about the decision making process for the distribution. Given your subject and your explanation in your mail. Maybe i misunderstood. Whats this mail about then? :)
My mail was meant to start a discussion on how we make decisions about features in the openSUSE distribution and how openFATE voting will help. We have to clarify what voting means - and can do. For openFATE the voting is a strong tool to speak up but we shouldn't base a decsion just on a vote. There are more things to involve, eg. survey results, mainainers opinion, quality aspects etc.)
