No... it's "the majority of people... who commented on AB's RfA". I'm afraid RfAs aren't reasonable arenas for policy decisions. And I don't see many (if any) people arguing against NOP on NOP's talk page.
Because NOP is (at the moment) a good policy: "Open or anonymising proxies may be blocked from editing for any period at any time. While this may affect legitimate users, they are not the intended targets and may freely use proxies until those are blocked."
That's not what NOP said at the time of AB's RfA, and it presumably was changed in large part due to the fact that so many people were against what it said at the time of AB's RfA.
