I don't know the details of this process; but personally I think a
ternary operator would be a very good thing - and don't care about the
syntax too much. Maybe the right think to vote on was simply a yes/no
to "Do you want a ternary operator?".
Maybe the problem is perhaps that disagreement over the competing
syntactical suggestions obscures the fact that a majority would prefer
to see some ternary operator rather than none?
