A poll IMO is a bad idea for settling these issues. It may represent the
majority at any given point in time but that changes, and we can't be voting on
the same issue over and over. Especially if the losers of the vote are vocal
then we could easily have this issue again. Treating CCC like a democracy makes
no sense IMO.
