And I disagree with this.  From my POV, an expanded approval vote makes
much more sense for this specific situation.  (By "expanded", I mean
that each item to be voted on can be marked as YES/NO/ABSTAIN.)

While in some sense that would be less robust than Condorcet, the
increase in simplicity and raw data would be well worth it.  But since I
abandoned running the vote in favor of dealing with PyCon, I don't get a
say.  ;-)
