Laszlo has previously applied not long ago, maybe a month  (search ML
archive).  Some concerns were brought up in a somwhat heated (IIRC)
discussion period.  Finally, he retracted his candidacy before the
vote. I guess most TU had made up their mind at that point.  So this
time, they felt that nothing was left to discuss so everyone just
waited for the voting period.
