Funny how it supposedly closes tomorrow but it's already done and archived.
I've never liked the idea that a poll should ever be closed. It would be enough to make the subject matter implementable when certain pre-defined thresholds are reached. If at some later time a contrary threshold is reached, including an allowance for people changing their votes, the result could be reversed.
We chronically limit voting to those people who happen to know that something is happening on a current basis. There is also a steep cliff to climb for future contributors who weren't around when a distasteful policy was set.
