Magnus added the "vote" features on a whim fairly recently, so I
didn't feel too bad about removing them on a whim. I think there
needs to be more discussion and consensus about what to do along
these lines before actually implementing something. I have some
ideas I will detail soon...but in short, I'd like to see a link
something like "review this page", which gives the user a form in
which he can make all kinds of recommendations (including "I think
this should be deleted"), and that information can be stored and used
in various ways (not merely appended to a page).
