Yeah, definitely not a poll. We need to keep ironing out concensus, and if at some point in that process there are two irreconcilable alternative (I doubt that'll happen), only then should a poll be used. If you want more people involved, keep pointing them to [[Wikipedia:Stable versions]] and [[Wikipedia talk:Stable versions]].

Yes, this seems to be the case, but I think we should have a poll on this on the Wikipedia itself, as visibly as possible, since at least #2 (and imho #1 too) would be a big change. Judging support just from the few participants in this discussion would give you an unreliable result.
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.
