Oh, right, I should have thought of that.  Well, Apache seems to work
pretty well (not that I've ever participated in its development, but
people speak highly of the resulting software).

Of course, the voting system described in Jim's message is quite
different from our current proposal, anyways.  There, it's a mandatory
process, while we're proposing it as a last resort to avoid deadlock.
