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.
