PEP 308 vote type (was Re: Update to PEP308: if-then-else expression)

Yes, I think you're right.  The problem is that when there are
multiple proposals, a lot of people are going to prefer "no change" to
at least some of those proposals, and many of that people may mark "no
change".

On the other hand, unless there is a near-consensus on how to
proceed, perhaps that is the right outcome.  That is, after all,
what Guido said he was going to do anyway.
