Hello Cary,

The confirmations are not decided by support ratio at all, but by the
steward community as a whole considering the arguments. What I meant
by "the current tendency" is the overall opinion of voters, not the
likely result. This wasn't very clear, as someone else already pointed
out; I'll reword it in the second-week summary.

The chart colours are accurate for the elections, but only indicative
for the confirmations (this is explicitly mentioned above the
confirmation table).
