Hmm. There were 77 comments in support, and 68 comments in opposition, but it was closed as supporting the global bans policy in its current form. Interesting.
Note the comments for the second option were to support the position that the policy needed revision. Essentially it means "not yet", not "I oppose global bans" . There were only 17 comments in favor of having no policy whatsoever. The RFC was originally drafted without the third option because the terms of use approved by the Board includes reference to a community policy about global bans. While the mere concept of global bans is clearly distasteful to some, it has and will still happen in very rare occasions. There's no putting the genie back in the lamp. In light of that, I think it's a good thing that there is a consensus decision-making process outlined for how to do it.
