I remain neutral on this debate, however I'd like to make a point to anyone using the 'but many users don't vote' argument. If we are to offer a voting system and expect the community to use it, then there must be a consequence for those packages that do not receive adequate votes. Otherwise, we are essentially telling the users, "votes don't matter, so don't bother voting." I believe that enforcing this will motivate users to take a more active role in the promotion of packages to community.
