Not another poll! The problem with such a process is that it reveals a divided community, which, by virtue of the poll finds it harder to seek out a compromise solution.
I can live with either version as the first version to appear as long as the other option is made *clearly* available.
Sure, finding a compromise, or convincing the other side, is fine, but at some point you're going to have to either implement something or not, and before you do that, how are you going to know what the consensus is without a poll? As I said, judging from the messages to this mailing list will not do, since only a miniscule fraction of Wikipedia's users read it.
