The voting procedure seems to insist that to have a say in the matter,
one really has to have a positive preference in order to make a real
difference - one can't say "I reject all this armchair language design
and await the day when I can read comp.lang.python without having to
filter out 10000 messages about frivolous wishlist items".

In order to represent the wishes of those rendered silent, I suggest
the appointment of the four horsemen of the apocalypse as
adjudicators. Upon completion of the voting procedure, the community
will await the arrival of the four horsemen (possibly arriving
straight from a well-deserved skiing trip in hell) who will then judge
the most popular ternary forms on the basis of "whole community
momentum" before delivering their recommendation to the BDFL.
