The pypi front page says:

| most votes will be implemented.


As I write, the option with the most votes is /Allow both ratings and
comments/.

But between them, /Disallow comments/ and /Disallow both ratings and
comments/ have more votes.

It seems clear to me that, given those figures, allowing comments would
not be following the result of the vote.

So I think that simply implementing the option that receives most votes
is not a wise plan.


(There are two other options; I don't think their presence makes the
plan any wiser.)
