I would also appreciate a +1 button. Many e-mails to this list do nothing
more than say +1 or -1 without much added discussion. It's difficult to
keep track of all these disparate, unstructured votes in threads that
contain a hundred e-mails and spin off into subthreads. There are also a
lot of lurkers who don't want to gum up inboxes with +1's and -1's, so
responses are naturally biased towards the more opinionated and active
users of the list.

GitHub added +1 and -1 buttons for exactly this reason: to reduce needless
comment on Issues and Pull Requests.

(If I could have +1'ed Abdur-Rahmaan's e-mail, I wouldn't have written this
response.)
